Now in their eighth year, the RTPI Awards for Research Excellence recognise and celebrate leading spatial planning research from RTPI accredited planning schools and RTPI members.
This year, the quality of submissions was exceptionally high, and we thank all the entrants for their submissions. We received 53 submissions across the four award categories: the Sir Peter Hall Award for Excellence in Research and Engagement, Early Career Researcher Award, Student Award, and the Planning Practitioner Award.
Seventeen submissions have been shortlisted to compete across the four categories covering a range of issues faced by the planning profession including mental health, zero-carbon homes, digital engagement and transport.
The full list of finalists is available here.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony that will take place during the UK-Ireland Planning Research Conference on 5 September at the University of Manchester.
