Student Poster Prizes
The prizes are awarded to the best posters presented by a student at the meeting. The winner will be selected by a judging panel after reviewing student posters. All student posters presented at the meeting are automatically eligible for this prize. There are 4 prizes of a $250 gift card, one for each research conducted utilising each of the four platforms:
- Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering
- Australian Synchrotron
- Centre for Accelerator Science
- National Deuteration Facility
Poster Slam
The Student Poster Slam is a special session in which students are given the opportunity to showcase to all delegates at the meeting in a 1-minute presentation. The winner of the Poster Slam will receive a prize of a $250 gift card.

ANBUG Awards
ANBUG is pleased to recognise the achievements of its members via annual awards in the following areas:
ANBUG Career Award
The ANBUG Career Award is for sustained contribution throughout the recipient’s career to a scientific subfield, or subfields, using neutron scattering techniques. The prize is a $500 gift card.
ANBUG Neutron Award
The ANBUG Neutron Awards is for outstanding research in neutron science and leadership promoting the Australian neutron scattering community (>10 years post PhD). The prize is a A$250 gift card.
ANBUG Young Scientist Award
The ANBUG Young Scientist Award is for outstanding research utilising neutron scattering by scientists within 10 years of PhD conferral when accounting for significant career breaks. The prize is a A$250 gift card.
ANBUG Technical Award
The ANBUG Technical Award is for outstanding service contributing to technical aspects of neutron scattering by university / institute staff or a beamline scientist. It is likely, but not mandatory, that it will be awarded to those who are traditionally not eligible for the other ANBUG awards, from areas such as engineering, sample environment, workshops or instrument staff that have gone above and beyond to facilitate your beam time from a technical perspective. The prize is a A$250 gift card
ANBUG Outstanding PhD Prize
The ANBUG Outstanding PhD Prize is for a PhD thesis on research using neutron scattering techniques submitted to a university in Australia or New Zealand after 1st January the year prior to the award year (i.e., 1st January 2022 for the 2023 award). The prize is a A$250 gift card.
