BCA List of Prizes and Named Lectures for Crystallography

• BCA Prize & Lecture
• Bragg Lecture
• Dorothy Hodgkin Prize & Lecture
• Kathleen Lonsdale Lecture

Previous information on these has been published, e.g. Crystallography News for September 1997.

The text below was published in the December 2001 issue 79 of Crystallography News.

Nominations are sought for the BCA Prize Lecture. The system is a little unusual but works as follows:

1. It is called the "BCA Prize Lecture" and can be awarded to any crystallographer in the world, but is named in honour of a prominent British crystallographer; this name would change with each award. So we would have, for example, "The BCA Prize Lecture in honour of XXX".
2. The crystallographer in whose honour it is given would attend the BCA Meeting and present the prize. Their expenses would be paid for by the BCA. There should be some link between the work of the two people involved.
3. The recipient would receive full travel costs, and would give a lecture at the BCA Meeting.
4. Nominations for this award, to be presented at the Nottingham BCA Spring Meeting are now sought. They should be sent to the Secretary, Dr Chris Cardin whose address can be found in the list of BCA officers. They should be received by February 1st 2001. Nominations should include a summary of the achievements of the two crystallographers involved.
