The Young Life Scientist Awards are held each year during the Societies Annual Meeting. In general entrants will be asked to submit an abstract of their chosen work and give a 10 minute oral presentation to a panel of judges who will then determine the winners. For each event £1200 prize money is available, plus subscriptions to Science and a trophy for the winner.

To enter the awards, candidates should contact the relevant society directly.
