Honors and recognition are a measure or indicator of the success of an institution or scientist. High quality research, productivity, and engagement draws attention from both outside and within an institution, and awards and honors are a means of recognizing such. HRI staff and students receive many awards, so it is not practical to list them all in one place. However, selected awards for the past several years can be found in reverse chronological order below. More detailed lists can be found under Awards and honors of individual CVs on personal web pages within the HRI website.
