The PCG of the British Crystallographic Association ([http://crystallography.org.uk/ BCA]) and the SCMP of the Institute of Physics ([http://www.iop.org IoP]) are two names for the same group. The aim of the group is to promote and support physical crystallography in all its current forms. We organise meetings and workshops, award a thesis prize every year and a lecture prize biennially. There is also limited funding to provide student bursaries to help towards the cost of attending international conferences. <br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

'''Physical Crystallography Prize'''<br />
<br />
The Physical Crystallography Prize is awarded for the best recently published work by a person in the early stages of their career, working in the field of Physical Crystallography, whose research is expected to make a significant impact in the field. The award is traditionally presented at the BCA Spring Meeting and the winner gives a Prize Lecture at that meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Nominations for the 2024 Prize will open at the end of 2022 - watch this space!'''<br />
<br />
'''Rules of the Prize'''<br />
<br />
# The Award will be made by the Committee of the Physical Crystallography Group of the BCA (also known as the Structural Condensed Matter Physics Group of the Institute of Physics).<br />
# The Award will be made for what is, in the opinion of the judging panel, the best recently published work (for example, 2 or 3 papers) by a researcher in the early stages of a career in the field of Physical Crystallography. The recipient will be expected to give an oral presentation of their work at the BCA Spring Meeting. This will normally be a condition of the Award and will only be waived in exceptional circumstances.<br />
# In addition to the prestige associated with the receipt of the Award and the opportunity to deliver the Prize lecture, there will be a monetary sum associated with the Award, whose value is currently £500 but which is subject to revision from time to time.<br />
# Nominations should be sent to the chair of the judging panel in advance of the deadline. The deadline will usually be 1st December of odd-numbered years for award in even-numbered years. Nominations should be accompanied by: a brief CV of the nominee; copies of the papers on which the nomination is based; and a supporting statement from the nominator, including comments on the part the nominee has played in any research work published jointly with others.<br />
# The nominations will be assessed by a panel of three judges appointed by the PCG committee. In the event of a tied vote, the chair of the judging panel will make the final decision as to the recipient of the Award.<br />
# Nominees should either be citizens of the UK, be resident and working the UK, or have carried out the work on which the nomination is based while working in the UK.<br />
# Candidates for the Award should meet the definition of "Early Career" as per the Institute of Physics: those in the first 12 years of their career (allowing for career breaks) e.g. nominees for the 2022 prize should be within 12 years of the award of a first degree at the time of nomination.<br />
# Nominations of candidates from within the same department as the nominator will not normally be valid and will be considered only under exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the judging panel.<br />

The PCG of the British Crystallographic Association ([http://crystallography.org.uk/ BCA]) and the SCMP of the Institute of Physics ([http://www.iop.org IoP]) are two names for the same group. The aim of the group is to promote and support physical crystallography in all its current forms. We organise meetings and workshops, award a thesis prize every year and a lecture prize biennially. There is also limited funding to provide student bursaries to help towards the cost of attending international conferences. <br />

<div>==The Physical Crystallography Prize== <br />
<br />
'''Physical Crystallography Prize'''<br />
<br />
The Physical Crystallography Prize is awarded for the best recently published work by a person in the early stages of their career, working in the field of Physical Crystallography, whose research is expected to make a significant impact in the field. The award is traditionally presented at the BCA Spring Meeting and the winner gives a Prize Lecture at that meeting. <br />
<br />
'''Nominations for the 2022 Prize are now open! Nominations should be sent to PCG Chair [mailto:a.gibbs@st-andrews.ac.uk Alex Gibbs] (see below for further information). The winner will be expected to present their work at the BCA Spring Meeting at the University of Leeds, 11th-14th April 2022.'''<br />
<br />
'''NOMINATION DEADLINE IS 18TH FEBRUARY 2022.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Rules of the Prize'''<br />
<br />
# The Award will be made by the Committee of the Physical Crystallography Group of the BCA (also known as the Structural Condensed Matter Physics Group of the Institute of Physics).<br />
# The Award will be made for what is, in the opinion of the judging panel, the best recently published work (for example, 2 or 3 papers) by a researcher in the early stages of a career in the field of Physical Crystallography. The recipient will be expected to give an oral presentation of their work at the BCA Spring Meeting. This will normally be a condition of the Award and will only be waived in exceptional circumstances.<br />
# In addition to the prestige associated with the receipt of the Award and the opportunity to deliver the Prize lecture, there will be a monetary sum associated with the Award, whose value is currently £500 but which is subject to revision from time to time.<br />
# Nominations should be sent to the chair of the judging panel in advance of the deadline. The deadline will usually be 1st December of odd-numbered years for award in even-numbered years. Nominations should be accompanied by: a brief CV of the nominee; copies of the papers on which the nomination is based; and a supporting statement from the nominator, including comments on the part the nominee has played in any research work published jointly with others.<br />
# The nominations will be assessed by a panel of three judges appointed by the PCG committee. In the event of a tied vote, the chair of the judging panel will make the final decision as to the recipient of the Award.<br />
# Nominees should either be citizens of the UK, be resident and working the UK, or have carried out the work on which the nomination is based while working in the UK.<br />
# Candidates for the Award should meet the definition of "Early Career" as per the Institute of Physics: those in the first 12 years of their career (allowing for career breaks) e.g. nominees for the 2022 prize should be within 12 years of the award of a first degree at the time of nomination.<br />
# Nominations of candidates from within the same department as the nominator will not normally be valid and will be considered only under exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the judging panel.<br />
<br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

# The Award will be made for what is, in the opinion of the judging panel, the best recently published work (for example, 2 or 3 papers) by a researcher in the early stages of a career in the field of Physical Crystallography. The recipient will be expected to give an oral presentation of their work at the BCA Spring Meeting. This will normally be a condition of the Award and will only be waived in exceptional circumstances.<br />
# In addition to the prestige associated with the receipt of the Award and the opportunity to deliver the Prize lecture, there will be a monetary sum associated with the Award, whose value is currently £500 but which is subject to revision from time to time.<br />
# Nominations should be sent to the chair of the judging panel in advance of the deadline. The deadline will usually be 1st December of odd-numbered years for award in even-numbered years. Nominations should be accompanied by: a brief CV of the nominee; copies of the papers on which the nomination is based; and a supporting statement from the nominator, including comments on the part the nominee has played in any research work published jointly with others.<br />
# The nominations will be assessed by a panel of three judges appointed by the PCG committee. In the event of a tied vote, the chair of the judging panel will make the final decision as to the recipient of the Award.<br />
# Nominees should either be citizens of the UK, be resident and working the UK, or have carried out the work on which the nomination is based while working in the UK.<br />
# Candidates for the Award should meet the definition of "Early Career" as per the Institute of Physics: those in the first 12 years of their career (allowing for career breaks) e.g. nominees for the 2022 prize should be within 12 years of the award of a first degree at the time of nomination.<br />
# Nominations of candidates from within the same department as the nominator will not normally be valid and will be considered only under exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the judging panel.<br />

'''History of the Prize''' <br />
<br />
For many years, Phillips Analytical have sponsored a prize lecture in physical crystallography. Since the purchase of Philips Analytical by Spectris PLC in September 2002 the company is trading under the name of PANalytical Limited. PANalytical agreed to continue to sponsor the annual award for Physical Crystallography, which was renamed the "PANalytical Physical Crystallography Award". Since the 2006 edition, the prize has been sponsored by the Institute of Physics, and has been again renamed the "Physical Crystallography Award". The award is presented for the best recently published work (say 2-3 papers in the last few years) by a person in the early stages of their career in the field of Physical Crystallography. It is to be expected that his or her research has or is expected to make a significant impact in this field. The award is traditionally made at the Annual BCA Spring Meeting and the recipient is expected to give an oral presentation of his or her work at that meeting. A judging panel appointed by the PCG-SCMP committee will decide on the awardee and the Group Chair will announce the prize, which currently consists of a cash award of £500. <br />

'''Thesis Prize 2021'''<br />
<br />
The PCG-SCMP is pleased to invite entries for the Malvern PANalytical Thesis Prize in Physical Crystallography. The prize will be awarded for the best use of techniques or methods of Physical Crystallography in a successfully examined thesis submitted in the period from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2020. <br />
<br />
In order for a thesis to be eligible for the award, the Physical Crystallography element must be central to the work of the thesis, which must also demonstrate a context over and above structural work for its own sake. The candidate must be a member of the Structural Condensed Matter Group of the IoP and/or the Physical Crystallography Group of the BCA. Non-members may enter the competition but will be required to join the IoP/SCMP or the BCA/PCG at the student rate to progress their nomination further. Full eligibility criteria and procedures for the Malvern PANalytical thesis prize can be found [[Media:PCG_Prize_Procedures_and_Rules_2020.pdf |here]].<br />
<br />
To enter the competition, candidates must submit:<br />
(a) a copy of the thesis in electronic format.<br />
(b) a personal statement of not more than 500 words explaining why the thesis should be considered for the prize and including a clear description of the role of Physical Crystallography (as broadly defined on the website www.pcg-scmp.org) in the research.<br />
(c) the names and contact details of two academic referees, one of whom may be the thesis supervisor, who will be able to comment on the thesis research of the candidate.<br />
<br />
'''The 2021 Prize will be awarded at the PCG Winter Meeting on the 14th-15th February 2022. The winner will be asked to give a 30 minute talk about their work.'''<br />
