Inspiration and Industry Award

Status Discontinued

Prizes archive

We have recognised excellence in the chemical sciences for more than 150 years and we are proud of this legacy and history.

This prize is part of our archive that holds a digital library of our previously administered prizes, their history, and previous winners.

The Inspiration and Industry Award was given in recognition of an individual's or team's impact on the local or national community, in relation to the promotion of science and STEM careers.

This award was discontinued in 2020, as part of a series of changes introduced following an independent review of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s recognition programmes.
