Deadline: February 24, 2023

Nominations are invited for the Royal Society Africa Prize 2023. The Royal Society Africa Prize is to recognise research scientists based in Africa who are making an innovative contribution to the sciences.

In addition, the Society is extremely keen to broaden the diversity of those nominated for its awards, so do please consider all contacts and colleagues. The prize was previously the Royal Society Pfizer Award which was last awarded in 2016.

The Royal Society Africa Prize 2022 is awarded to Professor Novel Njweipi Chegou for his work in the fields of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and his innovative project proposal.
