Anne Bennett Prize

The Anne Bennett Prize and Senior Anne Bennett Prize are awards given by the London Mathematical Society.[1][2]

In every third year, the society offers the Senior Anne Bennett prize to a mathematician normally based in the United Kingdom for work in, influence on or service to mathematics, particularly in relation to advancing the careers of women in mathematics.[1]

In the two years out of three in which the Senior Anne Bennett Prize is not awarded, the society offers the Anne Bennett Prize to a mathematician within ten years of their doctorate for work in and influence on mathematics, particularly acting as an inspiration for women mathematicians.[1]

Both prizes are awarded in memory of Anne Bennett, an administrator for the London Mathematical Society who died in 2012.[3]

The Anne Bennett Prizes should be distinguished from the Anne Bennett Memorial Award for Distinguished Service of the Royal Society of Chemistry,[4] for which Anne Bennett also worked.[3]
