Daiwa Adrian Prizes for UK-Japan Collaboration in Science - Call for Applications

Applications for Daiwa Adrian Prizes, the prestigious awards for scientific excellence in the UK and Japan, are now being accepted until the deadline of Friday 10 June 2016.  Applications are invited from joint teams of British and Japanese scientists working on collaborative projects.

The Prizes, of up to £10,000, are awarded by The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation on a triennial basis in recognition of significant scientific collaboration between British and Japanese research teams.

Daiwa Adrian Prizes are awarded in recognition of significant scientific collaboration between British and Japanese research teams in the field of pure or applied science. Fields covered include physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, engineering, agricultural, biological and medical research, the scientific aspects of archaeology, geology and experimental psychology.

The Daiwa Adrian Prizes acknowledge those research teams who have combined excellence in scientific achievement with a long-term contribution to UK-Japan relations.

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. Since their launch, £445,000 in Prizes has been 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.
