Ri Freer Prize Fellowship purpose: The Ri Freer Prize Fellowships are
intended as writing-up awards for doctoral candidates researching the
history of science; history of the Royal Institution; or heritage
conservation science. Ri Freer Prize Fellowships are awarded based on
candidates’ ability to identify and communicate the significance and
potential of their research in a compelling way that can engage a
general interest audience. For further details see the Criteria for
Assessment.
Ri Freer Prize Fellow support: Ri Freer Prize Fellows will benefit from
significant opportunities to promote their research on Ri platforms, and
to establish valuable new contacts and collaborations in academia,
industry, heritage, policy, charity and media sectors. There will also
be opportunities to engage with the Ri’s public lecture programs,
archives, masterclasses and education programs. Any Freer Prize
Fellowship winners will also be introduced to the Ri’s network and
receive training for professional development.
Ri Freer Prize Fellow commitments: Ri Freer Prize Fellows will commit to
a number of general interest outputs to promote their research. The
precise nature of these outputs will be decided in discussion with the
Ri but will include short films; tours for visitors to Ri collections;
and blogs. Ri Freer Prize Fellows will be supported to produce these
outputs and where appropriate link their work to Ri collections and
heritage as part of research promotion. Ri Freer Prize Fellows are not
required to live in London but will be expected to attend key events.
Application Process: Applications will be reviewed by a panel of experts
in the specified subject areas. There will be no interview. Referees are
only contacted at the short-listing stage. Two Ri Freer Prize Fellows
will be announced by June 2025
All queries should be directed to Freer Administrator Hannah Pratt -
