The Primatology Recognition Award is a new initiative created by the PSGB. With this award we aim to further highlight the wonderful contributions made to the field of primatology by both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students. We have launched both the Undergraduate Primatology Recognition Award and the Postgraduate Primatology Recognition Award.
*The Postgraduate award is aimed at Master's level students as we award the Napier Medal to PhD students.
One undergraduate and one postgraduate award per institution can be given per year and the successful student will receive a certificate and a year’s membership of the Society. At each awarding institution, awards will be overseen by a nominated individual, who will advertise them to their students.
We hope that this will encourage student participation in and membership of the Society and raise the profile of primatology. The awards will usually be for the highest-graded primatological dissertation in the degree programme but may, in exceptional circumstances, be granted for other achievements deemed to be equally deserving. Recipients of the awards will be asked to contribute a summary of their work to Primate Eye.
