The Young Crystallographer Prize is sponsored by the Cambridge Crystallography Datacentre, and is awarded annually to an outstanding early career researcher who has made significant contribution to chemical crystallography and its community.
Call for Nominations 2024-25 Award
The call for nominations for the 2024-25 Young Crystallographer Prize will be announced soon. Stay tuned!
Eligibility for Nomination
The award is given annually to an young (< 35, except career breaks) researcher, who must be available to present their work at the Prize Winners' session at the following BCA Spring Meeting.
The award is typically made on the basis of published research within the scientific field of interest of the CCDC and BCA-CCG. Broadly, this corresponds to original research in the field of chemical crystallography or the application of crystallographic information to structural chemistry, including advances in instrumental, experimental, theoretical or computational techniques that contribute to the field.
A complete description of eligibility and rules is available online here.
