Do you know someone working within the environmental sciences sector who deserves to be recognised for their outstanding contribution, their achievements in public life, and/or their commitment to serving and helping Britain?
If so, then give them a chance to receive national recognition for all their hard work by nominating them for a UK honour. Honours are a distinctive way of acknowledging someone’s achievements, rewarding people who have made a real difference to society.
Anyone can nominate someone for an honour; this can be done by completing the UK honours form and following the guidance documents listed on the NERC website. In order to save you time, in the first instance only the highlighted areas on the form need to be completed. However, please note should your nomination successfully progress past the initial shortlisting stage NERC will contact you to complete the additional information. This will then be submitted as part of the science nominations to be considered by an independent committee. There is considerable competition for honours, and the assessment is rigorous, so the citation is the most important piece of evidence for the honours committee to consider.
Note: All nominations are treated in the strictest confidence. The nominee should not be informed that they have been nominated.
Completed forms for the New Year 2018 honours round should be emailed to honours@nerc.ac.uk by 24 February 2017.
