Inclusion and diversity in our prizes

We want to recognise excellent science, whoever is behind it, and ensure everyone is included, whatever their background or role.

Following the publication of an independent review of our recognition programmes, Re-thinking recognition: Science prizes for the modern world, we are taking steps to make our prize portfolio more reflective of our community and how they contribute to science by:

• evolving our prize portfolio to put greater emphasis on teams and collaborations, educators, and those who are in earlier stages of their career
• expanding our definition of scientific excellence
• working with the scientific community to expand the pool of people, teams and collaborations nominated for our prizes
• continuing to review our approach to eponymous prizes
• trialling a new nominations rollover process

Since 2015 we have published annual statistics relating to diversity in our prize programme. Download diversity data for our 2024 prizes.

Inclusion and diversity in the chemical sciences

As a professional and membership body and a leading voice for the chemistry community, we are responsible for ensuring that chemistry is for everyone.

Our Inclusion and Diversity Strategy is pushing us further than before to increase the diversity of people choosing the chemical sciences and fulfilling their potential for a truly inclusive community. This will – in time – be reflected in the diversity of our prize programme.
