Durward Cruickshank Young Crystallographers’ Prize

Thanks to an extremely generous bequest from the estate of Professor Durward Cruickshank, the BCA Officers are pleased to announce the establishment of the “Durward Cruickshank Young Crystallographers’ Prize” to be awarded on an annual basis to a Young Crystallographer (normally with less than 3 years of post doctoral experience) who has made an outstanding contribution in any area of crystallography.

The contribution will be judged on poster and oral presentations and all-round contributions during the BCA Spring Meetings by designated members of the Early Stage Crystallographers Group who will nominate the Prize Winner to the BCA Officers for ratification.

In the first instance a sum of £250 will be associated with the Prize and should be used by the recipient to assist them in attending a national or international conference.
