The BSHM is delighted to announce the winner of the 2022-24 Taylor and Francis Early Career Research Prize. Dr Andrea Reichenberger, Technical University of Munich, received the award for their 2023 paper 'Elli Heesch, Heinrich Heesch and Hilbert’s eighteenth problem: collaborative research between philosophy, mathematics and application', which was published in the British Journal for the History of Mathematics, 38(3), 208–228. https://doi.org/10.1080/26375451.2023.2297522

The following is the normal information available about this prize. Every three years, the BSHM awards the Taylor and Francis Early Career Research Prize.

The prize is for the best paper by an early career researcher published in the society’s journal, the British Journal for the History of Mathematics.

The winner will be invited to blog on the history of mathematics for the society.

2025–2027 Prize

The next prize will be awarded for papers published in the BJHM during 2025, 2026 and 2027.

In the context of the prize an early career researcher is defined to be a person at an early stage in their history of mathematics career; this would normally be a current doctoral student or someone within five years of a relevant PhD (taking account of any career breaks).

Authors submitting articles to the Society’s journal will be asked to state whether they wish to be considered for the award.
