The Peter Smith Medal is awarded biennially to an outstanding early career researcher in any field. The recipient will be invited to deliver “The Peter Smith Lecture” to the Society. To be eligible for nomination, the research and/or works must be largely carried out in Tasmania or under the aegis of a Tasmania-based organisation and within the Society’s purview.
