Polymer Physics Group Founders’ Prize
This prize is for a scientist who has made an outstanding contribution to polymer physics in the UK or Ireland.
The Polymer Physics Group Founders’ Prize, instigated to commemorate the work of Professor Andrew Keller, is awarded biennially to a scientist who has made an outstanding contribution to polymer physics in the UK or Ireland.
The recipient of the prize will be invited to present the Founders’ Prize Lecture at the group’s biennial meeting in Edinburgh in September 2024.
Please note that the wording of the above has been carefully chosen. The group have agreed that the recipient of the Founders’ Prize need not be British nor even currently working in the UK, provided that their research has a significant UK or Irish component.
