The Group Award (Astronomy) recognises outstanding achievement by large consortia of academics or Professional–Amateur collaborations in any branch of astronomy (including emerging areas), where it is not appropriate to present, jointly, one of the other awards of the Society. The Award, in the form of an inscribed certificate, is presented to each member of the consortium.
To nominate
Nominations should be submitted by 31 July for the following year's awards and should include:
- The online nomination form
- Your nomination (minimum length 300 words, maximum length 600 words). This should address how the consortium fulfils the criteria of the Award, and also include the name of the head or heads of the consortium, and other awards and honours received by the consortium. The panel would also find it helpful if more general information on the nominee’s contributions to the community could be included.
- Contact details of two referees. Please ensure you have contacted the referees and that they agree to write a letter of support. They will receive an automated email from us once the nomination has been submitted.
Additional supporting material may be requested if required.
