Applications Open for The Janet Scott Prize for Collaborative Research in Sustainability

The Janet Scott Prize for Collaborative Research in Sustainability will once again be awarded at this year’s Summer Showcase, hosted by the Institute of Sustainability and Climate Change (ISCC) and the CDT in Sustainable Chemical Technologies: A Systems Approach (CSCT).

Established in memory of Professor Janet Scott, the prize recognises and celebrates PhD researchers at the University of Bath whose work embodies Janet’s commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and sustainable innovation.

The award includes a medal and a £250 prize, and is open to all PhD researchers who began their studies on or after 30 September 2019. Candidates should demonstrate a clear commitment to collaboration—either across academic disciplines or with industrial partners—within the context of cutting-edge sustainability research.
