MRS Nelson "Buck" Robinson Science and Technology Award for Renewable Energy

About this program

The Materials Research Society (MRS) awards the Nelson "Buck" Robinson Science and Technology Award for Renewable Energy to recognize students (bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD), postdoctoral researchers, or other early-career professionals (within five years of their highest degree) for the development of novel, sustainable solutions enabling renewable energy sources. The annual prize includes a $5,000 honorarium and reimbursement of Fall Meeting registration (including a one-year MRS membership) plus reasonable travel and hotel expenses to attend the meeting where the award is presented. Applicants must be within the specified career-stage window and demonstrate impactful renewable energy research; full eligibility rules, application requirements, and deadlines are available on the MRS award webpage.
