The New Phytologist Tansley Medal is awarded annually in recognition of an outstanding contribution to research in plant science by an individual in the early stages of their career (including any researcher with three to five years’ experience since gaining / defending their PhD). Shortlisted candidates are invited to author a Tansley insight review for publication in New Phytologist and the winner(s) receives a prize of £2,000 (GBP).
The application deadline for the 2025 New Phytologist Tansley Medal competition is 1 November 2024.
'The Tansley Medal competition is unique because the shortlisted candidates have the opportunity to write a Tansley insight – immensely valuable experience for an early career researcher.'
