  • The Woodward Medal in Science and Technology is awarded annually to a member of staff for research published in hard copy in the three years up to 31 December of the preceding year. The research must have made a significant contribution to knowledge in a field of science and technology.
  • The Woodward Medal in Humanities and Social Sciences is awarded annually to a member of staff for research published in hard copy in the three years up to 31 December of the preceding year. The research must have made a significant contribution to knowledge in a field of humanities or social sciences.
Eligibility rules
The form of publication may be a single book or refereed journal article or a suite of related books or articles published in the preceding three years. Candidates for each Medal are invited to submit the nominated publication(s) along with a statement of significance.

Members of staff may self-nominate or be nominated by a colleague. Where applicants are self-nominated, a statement from a Head of Department or senior University colleague about the nature of the work would be helpful.

Special considerations
In the case of multi-authored work, the Committee asks that the nominator comment on the nominee?s individual contribution to the underlying research and the publication. Only one medal will be awarded to an individual (ie it is not a team award).
