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.
