Anne Bennett Prize

The Anne Bennett Prize and Senior Anne Bennett Prize are awards given by the London Mathematical Society.

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.

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.

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

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