正文(英文) | Researchers whose work has made a real difference to society or the economy were celebrated at the Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) annual Celebrating Impact Prize awards ceremony at the Royal Society on 9 July. The Impact Prize, now in its seventh year, recognises and rewards ESRC-funded researchers who have achieved impact through outstanding research, knowledge exchange activities, collaborative partnerships and engagement with different communities. Each winner was awarded a prize of £10,000 to be spent on furthering knowledge exchange, public engagement, or other communications activities to promote the economic and social impact of their research. The ESRC encourages and supports social scientists to maximise the impact of their work to ensure that independent, high-quality research informs decisions across a wide range of policy areas, and helps make a difference to people’s lives in the UK and around the world. For example, by enhancing economic competitiveness of the UK; improving public services; raising standards of living and health; contributing to the development of UK policy; driving innovation or improving management practices of businesses; helping a particular group in society; or helping societies in other countries. To reflect this diversity there are four different categories with the winners chosen from a shortlist of submissions that was selected by a panel of experts. The panel also awarded £2,500 each to the winner of the Future Promise and Panel’s Choice prizes. Professor Jennifer Rubin, ESRC Executive Chair said: "All our finalists have demonstrated the impact of their work and illustrated its relevance and importance to society. They are already contributing to policy debates in their specialist areas and hopefully their influence will continue for many years to come.” The winners of the 2019 Celebrating Impact Prize are: Outstanding Early Career Impact (in partnership with SAGE publishing)Winner: Dr Shona Minson (University of Oxford) Finalist: Dr Chloe Holloway (University of Nottingham) Outstanding International ImpactWinner: Professor Nic Cheeseman, University of Birmingham with research team members Professor Gabrielle Lynch, University of Warwick, Professor Justin Willis, University of Durham, and Dr Susan Dodsworth, University of Birmingham Outstanding Public Policy ImpactWinner: Professor Susan McVie, University of Edinburgh and Professor Lesley McAra, University of Edinburgh Outstanding Societal ImpactWinner: Professor Kate Reed, University of Sheffield, Dr Elspeth Whitby, University of Sheffield and Dr Julie Ellis, University of Huddersfield Finalist: Professor Louise Archer (UCL Institute of Education) and team Future Promise prizeWinner: Dr Chloe Holloway (University of Nottingham) Panel’s Choice prizeWinner: Professor Louise Archer (UCL Institute of Education) with ASPIRES colleagues Dr Julie Moote, Ms Emily Macleod, Dr Jennifer DeWitt and Professor Becky Francis Notes for editorsESRC Celebrating Impact Prize is an annual opportunity to recognise and reward the successes of ESRC-funded researchers who have achieved, or are currently achieving, outstanding economic and societal impacts.
