The BSI Immunology Awards are a celebration of remarkable achievements revolutionising the field of immunology.
Our vibrant community is driving demonstrable positive impact on human and animal health in a wide array of ways. Through the Society’s first ever-awards ceremony, we aim to recognise those advancing the field and enabling immunology to thrive, and further our mission to provide sector-leading support to immunologists from all levels and sectors.
Nominations will highlight some of the outstanding achievements of the immunology community. We invite our members and immunologists around the world to shine a spotlight on the stars shaping our future. This is your chance to celebrate and inspire others!
You will have the opportunity to raise recognition of the exceptional people working hard, publicly or behind the scenes, to deliver positive outcomes for health in a variety of ways, including at different career stages and sectors.
In line with our Diversity & Inclusion framework, we encourage nominations that reflect the diversity of our community. To ensure we continue fostering a culture within immunology that ensures fair treatment and opportunity for all, we particularly welcome nominees from underrepresented groups and diverse backgrounds.
With the BSI Immunology Awards we want to bring our community together in a one-of-a-kind showcase of stellar contributions shaping the future of immunology. By taking part, you will play an important role promoting the impact and significance of our field.
