2024 Research Output Prizes
The winners of the University of Reading’s Research Output Prize 2024, which recognises and celebrates the excellent research work of Early Career Researchers (ECRs), reflect the breadth and depth of research from across all four Research Themes.
The 2024 winning entries explore diverse topics including deep vein thrombosis, the effects of ocean currents on climate models, what ancient wooden hunting tools tell us about early Neanderthals, and the environmental impacts of illegal fishing practices on aquatic ecosystems.
Professor Parveen Yaqoob, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation), said: “The winning publications showcase the remarkable contributions of our early career researchers.
“Their innovative work tackles timely issues of societal importance, advancing knowledge and addressing global challenges.
“We strive to provide an inclusive and supportive research culture which allows colleagues at all stages of their careers to excel. I look forward to celebrating their achievements at the upcoming Research Awards ceremony.”
