More about these prizes on offer:

As Affiliate members of the RSC, students will have the ability to join groups focused on different areas of the chemical sciences, engage in professional networking online and offline, and access support and resources that will enable them to develop the skills to become an engaged and active member of the community. Members also enjoy discounts on a variety of products and services offered by the RSC, including knowledge resources and events.

If you are a STEM student trying to turn your degree into a fulfilling career, or a recent graduate struggling to navigate your options in the post-degree world, this book is your roadmap to success. From job hunting and professional document writing to networking and improving employability, this book covers the essential skills needed to kickstart your career in science.

Lights. Camera. Reaction! How do real-world discoveries affect what we see on screen? What impact does the world of film have on how we view chemistry? From the earliest silent films through to modern, multi-episode television, discover the real-life chemistry that inspired your favourite shows.

Forensic science is often important in criminal cases, so criminal justice professionals must have a basic understanding of complex science. This book explains the science underpinning forensic techniques to give readers the knowledge to understand and use forensic science effectively. Using international case studies and the author’s personal journey, this book brings the practice of forensic science to life.

All awardees will receive an invitation to attend a virtual publishing training hosted by the editors of RSC journals. This workshop is an opportunity to learn about scientific publishing from experts in the field and will benefit students in the next steps of their professional journey, as publishing is a cornerstone of many scientific careers.

In 2025, the workshop will be hosted by Dr. Laura Fisher, the executive editor of RSC Advances, the largest gold Open Access journal dedicated to the chemical sciences. Students who participate will receive a signed certificate of completion to demonstrate their publishing knowledge and to support their futures in science.

This training will be conducted in the Fall after the award period closes.
