Survey Futures is a UKRI-ESRC funded research programme that aims to deliver a step change in approaches to collecting population survey data in the UK. In 2024, we launched the Early Career Impact Awards, a new initiative designed to celebrate early career researchers and recognise the extraordinary talent, passion and contributions of those working in the UK survey sector today.
 
We are pleased to announce that Survey Futures is running the award for the second time this year. Up to eight winners of these awards will be offered year-long mentoring and opportunities to further support their career via free training and professional recognition. NCRM have sponsored this event and will offer some free training to successful award holders.
 
The winners and their nominators will be invited to a special event, hosted by the Royal Statistical Society, in London held on Wednesday 11 November 2026 from 13.30 to 17:00. They will present their work in front of an audience of colleagues working in survey research which will be followed by a reception, providing an excellent opportunity to build their personal network for the future. There will also be opening and closing talks given by prominent figures in the survey community (tbc).
