Memorial studentship
For donations in memory of Jack, the Cambridge Chemistry Department and Robinson College have joined together to set up a three-year graduate studentship in Chemistry called the Lewis Research Studentship in Chemistry. This fund will allow a talented individual to study at Cambridge, and will be a fitting tribute to the legacy of Lord Lewis. You may donate to the studentship by using the online booking form, which includes a space for donations.
