Technicians Awarded the Royal Society’s Hauksbee Award

Congratulations to all of the Technicians: We Make the Difference over 100 Technicians who have collectively been awarded The Royal Society Hauksbee Award 2023, which recognises them for generously offering their time, support and input to Technicians: The David Sainsbury Gallery at the Science Museum and Gatsby Foundation’s Technicians: We Make the Difference campaign. 

The Royal Society Hauksbee Award is awarded for outstanding achievements in science to an individual or team whose work is mostly ‘behind the scenes’ or in support, including technicians, research office staff or other contributors who might not normally be recognised.  
 
The Technicians Gallery and the campaign aim to inspire the next generation of the technical workforce and address the critical skills shortage, and every one of the over one hundred technicians involved to date has rightly been recognised by the world’s oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.   
  
All of the technicians awarded have played their part in putting technician careers in the spotlight, and in turn, worked towards addressing the nation’s huge technical skills shortage.  
 
We thank them for their individual contribution and for working on this collective endeavour and congratulate all of the over 100 technicians on receiving this prestigious award! 
 
If you are a technician or employer of one of the technicians and would like to share the press release, please email us at technicians@gatsby.org.uk.
