Professor Nick Jennings, the Vice-Chancellor said: "We couldn’t achieve what we do without the hard work, dedication, and creativity of our staff. This enables us to achieve our vision of being an internationally engaged research‐intensive university that delivers meaningful impact and keeps students at our heart.
"It is important to me that we take the opportunity through my annual awards, to acknowledge and highlight the most outstanding work of our teams and individuals from across the whole university. I encourage you to nominate those colleagues that you recognise as making a substantial contribution. I look forward to reading the nominations and seeing the finalists at this years’ event, in September."
More detail about each award, the judging panel and guidance on how to submit a nomination, can be found on the dedicated webpage. The deadline for all submissions is Friday 2 June, 2023.
Judging will take place over the summer, and those who are shortlisted for each of the categories will be invited to a lunchtime awards ceremony that will take place on Friday 15 September at the Holywell Conference Centre.
If you have any queries about the process or would like some support with submitting a nomination, please speak to either your manager or Anne Wilkinson.
