Dr Sibimol Luke, Chair of the UK-HyRES Early Career Researcher Committee and Research Fellow at University College London, has received the Bartlett Early Career Researchers (ECR) Award 2026 in the Community category, recognising her contributions to the UK-HyRES Early Career Researcher Network.

The Bartlett ECR Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions of early-career researchers across research, teaching, equality, diversity and inclusion, outreach, communication, and community. The Community Award recognises exceptional contributions to communities inside or outside UCL, including volunteering, championing good practice, and supporting networks and communities of practice.

Sibimol’s award highlights the value of the UK-HyRES ECR Network in supporting collaboration, skills development, and career development among early-career researchers working across hydrogen, alternative liquid fuels, and related low-carbon energy research.

This award also reflects the strength of the UK-HyRES ECR community and the opportunities for more early-career researchers to help shape its future. UK-HyRES welcomes expressions of interest from ECRs who would like to get involved, contribute ideas, and support the next phase of network activity.
