Reward and Recognition scheme

The Department of Brain Sciences recognises that many activities which drive the success of the Department are not necessarily recognised through existing channels.

Through the Department’s Reward and Recognition scheme, we aim to recognise achievements and contributions particularly from junior/early career researchers and members of staff within, or affiliated to, the Department.
