The RTPI Awards for Research Excellence 2025 is now open for entries.
The awards recognise the best spatial planning research conducted at RTPI-accredited schools.
The Tony Crook Award for Early Career Research and the Patsy Healey Award for Academic Excellence have both been named in honour of two members of the planning research community who passed away in 2024.
The former is named after Professor Tony Crook, who has been a member of the RTPI since 1965, and has served as a trustee up until he passed away.
The latter honours Professor Patsy Healey, who was the third person and first woman to be awarded the RTPI gold medal, and was the first Senior Editor of Planning Theory & Practice.
The awards, alongside the rest, highlight and commend the implications of academic research on policy and practice, and the contributions from planning consultancies with regards to research. The awards also promote the importance of planning research.
The award categories are as follows:
Entries for the awards opened on March 18, and will remain open until May 18, with judging taking place in the following July. The awards will then be presented by president of RTPI, Helen Fadipe, at the UK Ireland Planning Research Conference in Belfast in September.
Submissions and entries for the awards can be made on the RTPI website.
