The Suffrage Science award is a prize for women in science, engineering and computing founded in 2011, on the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day by the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS). [2] [3] [4] There are three categories of award:
The life sciences award was founded in 2011. [5] Every year there are 10 laureates from research backgrounds and one laureate for communication. The engineering and physical sciences award was founded in 2013. [6] Every year there are 12 laureates from areas spanning physics, chemistry and more. The math and computing award was launched on Ada Lovelace Day, 2016. [7] Every year there are five laureates from mathematics, five laureates from computing and one laureate for science communication and the public awareness of science.
