BACG Young Scientists Award
The BACG established this annual award to recognise achievement by young scientists publishing work in the field of crystal growth. The winner will receive the prize of £300 and an engraved medal and will present the work as an invited paper at the next annual meeting of the BACG, following which the formal presentation of the award will be made by the President of the BACG.
The award is made annually to the candidate achieving the most significant advancement in the understanding of the theory, practice or characterisation of crystal growth processes, published in scientific literature in the previous three calendar years.
