The nomination period for the 2025 cohort of RSC Members - New Fellows and Members of the RSC College and RSC Awards - is now open. We encourage you to begin considering nominations for your colleagues, especially if you are a current Fellow or College member.
The deadline December 13, 2024 at 5pm Pacific for all RSC competitions, including medals and awards.
Fellows and College Members:
In order to facilitate planning and support, we request notice of planned nominations (including requests for institutional nomination and renomination). We are also aiming to prioritize institutional nominations under UBC’s President for departments or units that do not have access to Fellows or College members as nominators. ORPA support will be available for nominations of UBC research faculty members regardless of nominator.
Please submit notice of planned nominations, or request institutional nomination, by Friday, October 4 here:
