Dissertation Awards

​
Submissions open for EnGRG Undergraduate Dissertation Prize 2025
​
​
Each year the EnGRG hosts an Undergraduate Dissertation Prize Competition, celebrating the best UK dissertations relating to the broad field of energy geographies.
​
The winner will receive a prize of £75. With permission, the dissertation will also be published on the EnGRG website and promoted via our social media accounts.*
​​
We welcome contributions from both BA and BSc programmes, as well as from social science disciplines other than geography. However, submissions must engage with the significance of space/place for understanding energy issues, and/or explore the significance of energy or energy systems for understanding the formation of space/place. The dissertation should be for the 2024-2025 academic year and should be written in English.
​
Entries should be nominated by a dissertation supervisor or member of staff from a UK Higher Education Institution. Dissertations should be submitted as a PDF and accompanied by a brief cover letter (max 300 words) from the nominator, describing why they are recommending the study for consideration. Please also provide a non-university email account for the candidate, as contact will likely happen after their graduation. Nominated dissertations should not be submitted for consideration for any other RGS-IBG prizes and departments should not submit more than one dissertation for consideration.
​
Please send submissions and questions to the EnGRG Awards Officers, Idalina Baptista (idalina.baptista@conted.ox.ac.uk) or Pancho Lewis (f.lewis@lancaster.ac.uk).
Deadline is 5PM GMT on Friday, 11/07/25

*Please note that if there is a low level of submissions, EnGRG reserves the right to not award this prize.
