Pip Pattison Award

The ANSNA Pip Pattison Award recognises significant achievement in Australian social network research. It is awarded each year to a senior or middle career researcher from an Australian research institution to acknowledge significant contributions to (1) the scientific study of social networks and (2) raising the profile of social network research in Australia.

Pip Pattison’s contribution to Australian social network research has been profound. Her methodological and theoretical work has given her a leading international reputation, with an exceptional list of influential publications, research grants and major collaborations. Especially through her establishment of the Social Networks Research Laboratory at the University of Melbourne, she has supervised and mentored many Australian network researchers and has been an always available source of advice and wisdom.

The award recipient will give a plenary at ANSNA’s Australian Social Network Analysis Conference each year. Expenses for conference registration will be part of the award. 
 

Garry Robins Award

The ANSNA Garry Robins Award, launched in 2023, recognises significant achievement of an early career researcher in Australian social network research. It will be awarded annually to an early career scholar from an Australian research institution to acknowledge contributions to (1) the scientific study of social networks and (2) to the Australian social network research community. The award will be given to a young scholar who is in the earlier stages of their career (i.e. someone who has received their PhD within the past 10 years, accounting for any career interruptions, e.g. family, health, etc.).

The ANSNA Garry Robins Award winner will be announced at ANSNA’s Australian Social Network Analysis Conference (ASNAC) in Brisbane in 2024. The award recipient will give an opening lecture at the following ASNAC in 2025; this lecture will review the work for which the award was given. Expenses for conference registration in 2025 will be part of the award.
