Daiwa Adrian Prizes for Scientific Collaboration

The Daiwa Adrian Prizes have been discontinued.

The 2016 Daiwa Adrian Prizes – the final year of the programme – were presented at the Royal Society on 15 November 2016.

The Prizes were established in 1992 and subsequently renamed to commemorate Lord Adrian, an eminent scientist and a founding Trustee of the Foundation, at whose initiative the Prizes were established. Over their history, £485,000 in Prizes was awarded to 76 teams representing 75 different institutions, including 36 from the UK and 37 from Japan – indicating the breadth and diversity of scientific achievement by scientists in the two countries.

Run on a triennial basis, they were awarded in recognition of significant scientific collaboration between British and Japanese research teams in the field of pure or applied science. Fields covered included physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering, agricultural, biological and medical research, the scientific aspects of archaeology, geology and experimental psychology.
