About Rank Prize
Founded by Lord Rank in 1972, Rank Prize stimulates and celebrates research in optoelectronics and nutrition; the two fields of research at the heart of Lord Rank’s interests and businesses. We not only award substantial prizes in recognition of significant advances in the relevant fields of science, but also actively promote the extension and spread of knowledge in these areas of research. Our initiatives include organising symposia, sponsoring lectures, and awarding grants to support training and facilitate career development, with a special focus on students and early career researchers.
Rank Symposia
Our symposia provide a unique platform for scientific exchange, facilitating in-depth discussions and exchanges of knowledge among participants who have expertise in a particular subject relating to optoelectronics or nutrition. The symposia play a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, and stimulating further research in the fields.
Our symposia are intentionally kept small, ensuring a focused and engaging experience for all participants. With approximately ten internationally-recognised speakers at the forefront of their respective fields, these symposia bring together a select group of brilliant minds, eager to share their groundbreaking research and insights. Alongside these distinguished speakers, we also invite around 20 early-career researchers, recognising the importance of nurturing the next generation of scientific pioneers.
By fostering an intimate and inclusive environment, our symposia inspire intellectual growth, spark innovation, and cultivate a vibrant scientific community. We believe that these transformative gatherings have the power to ignite new ideas, drive research breakthroughs, and ultimately shape the trajectory of scientific advancement.
The Rank Prize
The Rank Prize is a prestigious award recognising significant contributions in the fields of nutrition and optoelectronics. The Prize is awarded biennially at our prizegiving ceremonies. These events gather an audience of around 150 distinguished individuals including renowned professionals, academics, influential leaders and experts in the fields of nutrition and optoelectronics, who come together to celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions of the honoured recipients.

About Kidney Research UK:
Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.
At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.
Over the last ten years we have invested more than £65 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.
Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.
Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.
