ESRC Celebrating Impact Prize 2023
This is an annual opportunity to recognise and reward the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)-supported researchers who have created or enabled outstanding impact.
We celebrate social science researchers at all career stages whose actions have supported changes in practice, thinking or capacity that create a positive impact in our society, economy and in our lives, in the UK and internationally.
The prize is open to current and previous ESRC-supported researchers, including doctoral students. There are 5 competition categories this year:
- outstanding business and enterprise impact
- outstanding early career impact
- outstanding international impact
- outstanding public policy impact
- outstanding societal impact
The finalists in all categories will have an opportunity to attend media training and have a film professionally made about their work and impact.
Winners are awarded £10,000 to spend on further knowledge exchange, public engagement or other impact related activities. Winners are announced at a high-profile awards ceremony.
