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 4 June 2010. Applications are invited from joint teams of British and Japanese scientists working on collaborative projects.
They 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 were established in 1992 and subsequently renamed to commemorate the late Lord Adrian, a founding Trustee of the Foundation, at whose initiative the Prizes were established. Applications are handled by the Foundation with an assessment conducted by a panel of Fellows of The Royal Society.
Since their launch, £345,000 in Prizes has been awarded to 51 different institutions, 26 from the UK and 25 from Japan – recognising cross-cultural collaboration and reflecting the breadth and diversity of scientific achievement by scientists in the two countries.
Previous Daiwa Adrian Prizes have supported new frontiers in areas as diverse as antibiotics research, plasma physics, aerospace exploration and asthma research.
