UKCA Harding Essay Competition 2025
The UK Centre for Astrobiology (UKCA) at the University of Edinburgh has officially launched the 2025 UKCA Harding Essay Competition, inviting undergraduate and postgraduate students across the UK to take part.
This annual competition offers a unique platform for students to explore topics that connect science, culture, and philosophy. Participants are encouraged to share their insights and original ideas, with the opportunity to have their work published on the UKCA website and win exciting prizes.
The competition is open to students from all disciplines — whether aspiring journalists, scientists, or creative writers. "This is a chance for students to make their voices heard and engage with some of the biggest questions about life, the universe, and our place within it," the organisers said.
