The Bragg Prize
In 2017 the IUCr established the W. H. & W. L. Bragg Prize to be awarded to up to two promising early-career crystallographers. The Prize will be awarded at IUCr Congresses. The awardee(s) will receive a certificate and a financial reward, and will be invited to make a presentation at the Congress on a topic related to the prize citation. The third Bragg Prize will be presented at the Calgary Congress in August 2026.
Research achievement relative to opportunity will define the eligibility of candidates for this award. For this purpose an “early-career researcher” is defined as one who received their PhD no more than 10 years before the closing date for nominations. Academic interruptions, including periods of parental leave, are taken into account.
