Early Researcher Prize
Has one of your students completed an outstanding research project?
You can now nominate them for our Early Researcher Prize where they will receive:
- £50 worth of book tokens
- national recognition via RCOT platforms.
Show your students how much you value their work – download the short nomination form below and submit it before 5pm, Friday 28 June 2024.
You’re busy so we’ve made the nomination form as quick and easy to complete as possible. The student will also need to provide a short reflection on their work as part of the nomination.
It was an honour to be awarded the Early Researcher Prize and have my dissertation work recognised by RCOT. As a new graduate, receiving this award has made me even more excited for my career ahead, and getting involved with future research opportunities.
