Description
The SDR Scientific Education Award is administered by the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). It recognises outstanding achievement in biochemistry or molecular biology education, particularly innovation and creativity, and aims to foster leadership in education by supporting the recipient’s further educational development.
The award enables the recipient to attend an international conference with a significant education focus or spend time at another institution in Australia or overseas to develop biochemistry and molecular biology education. Proposed activities may address discipline-specific developments or broader educational developments applied to these disciplines. SDR Scientific provides a contribution toward travel expenses, and the recipient presents a lecture within the Education Symposium at the annual ASBMB conference.
