The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of science, has awarded three University professors Wolfson Research Merit Awards for their outstanding research work.
Jointly funded by the Wolfson Foundation and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award recognises talented scientists of outstanding achievement and potential.
These three awards mean that total funding from the Wolfson Foundation for the Awards at Southampton has now exceeded £1 million.
Paul Ramsbottom, Chief Executive of the Wolfson Foundation, says: “The Wolfson Merit Awards, administered by the Royal Society, form part of the Wolfson Foundation’s wider funding to support outstanding research at British universities. The Awards are highly competitive and it is testament to the range and quality of research at Southampton that they have been so successful.
