GlaxoSmithKline International Achievement Award 2002 (24 November 2001)

Nominations are now sought for the GlaxoSmithKline International Achievement Award.

The award will be made to an individual, from anywhere in the world, who has demonstrated through published work, over the past three years, a substantial advancement in the application of scientific knowledge within the pharmaceutical sciences. Alternatively, the award may be made to a team of up to six researchers.

The award is open to researchers in academia, industry, public service or any other scientific establishment or to researchers from these areas working collaboratively. Although it is probable that applicants will be successful scientists in their field, perhaps in mid-career, there is no age limit for applicants and each case will be judged on scientific quality and its actual or future applicability to industrial practice.

The award will comprise a commemorative presentation(s), a cheque for £1,000 and expenses for the successful applicant (or leader of the successful team) to attend the British Pharmaceutical Conference in September 2002 to give a lecture on the subject.

Nominations are requested either directly from the scientists concerned, or from any other individual or organisation within the pharmaceutical sciences on behalf of an individual or group. The nomination should consist of a curriculum vitae of the principal researcher (who would give the lecture if successful) a summary CV (one page) for each other team member, together with a summary (no more than 1,000 words) of their published work over the past three years and of its importance to the pharmaceutical industry.

Previous winners of the award are Professor Hans Lennernäs (Uppsala University), Professor Patrick Couvreur (Université Paris-Sud), Professor William Charman (Monash University, Victoria), Professor Bob Langer (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Professor Sandy Florence (University of London).

Nominations should be sent to Dr J. A. Clements, Room 301B, Royal Pharmaceutical Society, 1 Lambeth High Street, London SE1 7JN, before 30 November 2002.

The nominations will be judged by senior staff from GlaxoSmithKline.
