AGC Awards and Grants

The AGC offers a range of grants as detailed below:

Roy Woodall Medal
https://www.agc.org.au/geoscience-in-australia/roy-woodall-medal/

This intention of this award is to recognise those individuals that seek to emulate Roy's contribution to the mineral industry by applying the best science to the endeavours of mineral exploration and the documentation of world-class mineral deposits. The goal of this is to encourage the ethos of scientific excellence that Roy was such a strong advocate for.

Applications close November 30

National Geoscience Champion
https://www.agc.org.au/geoscience-in-australia/national-geoscience-champion/

The award is modelled on the concept of a Hall Of Fame for geoscientists who are not otherwise recognised (yet) as National Living Treasures. This honour will be bestowed on very few Geoscientists and will recognise lifetime contributions to our science, craft and art, evidenced by technical, leadership, mentoring and collegial endeavours.
