2024 has marked a remarkable surge for PeerJ Awards, celebrating a grand total of 108 recipients across 54 conferences! Tailored primarily towards students and early career researchers (ECRs), PeerJ Awards grant winners with a free publication in any of the PeerJ journals (subject to peer review), along with a spotlight feature showcasing their research on our blog.
Below, we’ve curated a comprehensive list of all PeerJ Award winners along with their interviews. If you’re organising a conference in 2025 and would like to have a PeerJ Award at your event, don’t hesitate to reach out via email at communities@peerj.com.
