RSE Catalyst Awards

To commemorate our 10 year anniversary of the RSE term being coined and celebrate where we are today, we have created an ‘RSE Catalyst’ award. This pin is given to those who have volunteered their time and energy to facilitate change over the last 10 years resulting in the creation of a positive and welcoming RSE community. We hope that we have remembered everyone but it has been 10 years (!) so if you would like to receive a pin or nominate someone to be recognised as a ‘Catalyst Champion’, please email [email protected] with your/their name, email and a very brief description of your/their contribution.

A huge thank you for being a catalyst for change in our RSE Community! We’re all very grateful for your passion to create change.
