Dr Elena Paunero Prize for the Best Doctoral Thesis in Botany (postdoctoral)
Description of the prize: The award is presented every two years in memory of the Dr Elena Paunero Ruiz and awards a prize for the best doctoral thesis within a maximum of one year following the defence.
Elena Paunero Ruiz (1906–2003) was a leading Spanish botanist of the 20th century, who began her career in botany within the Mycology Group of the Junta de Ampliación de Estudios (JAE). She was renowned for her specialisation in grasses and for her work as Curator of Collections at the Herbarium of the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid for almost 50 years. Her solid academic background, her contributions to the study of flora and her efforts to organise and raise the international profile of botanical collections attest to an exemplary scientific career.
A first prize and a runner-up prize will be awarded for the best doctoral thesis on any specific research topic in botany: algae, fungi or plants, covering areas such as scientific collections, taxonomy, systematics, conservation, geobotany, ethnobotany, aerobiology, palynology, etc.
