Call Open: Irish Research Council Researcher of the Year Awards 2023

The Irish Research Council (IRC) has opened its call for nominations for the 2023 Irish Research Council Researcher of the Year Awards. Now in their seventh year, these awards will commend the very best of our awardees and alumni who are making highly significant and valuable contributions to knowledge, society, culture, and innovation.

The awards also celebrate mentors, supervisors, research officers, and technical support staff from across the Irish higher education and research system (whether funded by the IRC or not). The Research Ally Prizes honour their role in supporting and sustaining the research ecosystem and fostering a positive academic culture based on equality, inclusivity, and respect.

Nominations are invited under four categories:

1. Researcher of the Year
2. Early Career Researcher of the Year
3. Impact Award
4. Research Ally

Detailed information on the criteria for awards and nomination process can be found in our Guidance Document on the Irish Research Council Researcher of the Year call page.
