| RIBA invites entries for the 2015 President's Awards for Research The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has announced a welcoming call for entries for the 2015 RIBA President's Awards for Research. This year will also see the award of the inaugural RIBA President's Research Medal, presented for the best judged research from across all four categories. The deadline for submissions is Monday 8 June 2015 at 5pm. The four categories for the Awards are: • University and Professional Research Organisation • Practice (including practices with professional research divisions) • PhD • Master's – each academic school can submit up to 2 Master's dissertations per year. The Master's course should be a research degree (e.g. an MA or MSc) and not a professional qualification (i.e. it cannot be a course that is validated, or is eligible to be validated, for RIBA Part 2). RIBA President Stephen Hodder said: "I'm delighted to announce the opening of the 2015 RIBA President's Awards for Research. I am particularly pleased with the inauguration of the President's Medal for Research; this award will help to give recognition to the ever increasing importance of research to architecture and our industry." Anne Dye, RIBA Head of Technical Research, said: "These Awards promote research and researchers that contribute new knowledge and understanding to architecture. They highlight the need for knowledge and insight that nurtures innovation, quality, value and strategic thinking. "This year we have widened the eligibility to include research from across the built environment and beyond, better reflecting the diverse interdisciplinary nature of architectural research." write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Construction News :: home page |
