Message from the Vice-Principal (Research and Innovation): Launching our Inaugural Research and Innovation Awards

I am delighted to announce that our inaugural Research and Innovation Awards are now open for nominations.

Published:

As V-P for Research and Innovation, I am enormously proud of the work we do here. Our excellence is recognised externally in, for instance, our REF and KEF results, and the impact of our research and innovation is felt across the world. (You can see a flavour this in our research impact heatmaps and our Research Highways impact stories.)

We are launching our new Research and Innovation Awards to recognise the range of contributions that make creative, dynamic, stimulating research and innovation possible here at Queen Mary.

We have the following award categories:

  • Outstanding research supervisor
  • Excellent research support
  • Early career researcher
  • Outstanding interdisciplinary research project
  • Leading Technician
  • Impact and Innovation (two awards)
  • Vice-Principal’s award for research excellence

We know that there are many people, besides our researchers, who make our research and innovation possible. So, as part of our awards, we want to shine a light on these colleagues too. Therefore, we are also launching our “101 jobs that change the world” photography project, through which we hope to showcase the many and varied (but sometimes hidden) non-researcher roles that are so vital to our successes.

Nominations for the Research and Innovation Awards are open now and close at 9am on Monday 1 May 2023. Find out more and submit your nominations on the Research and Innovation Awards SharePoint site.

To nominate yourself or someone else for the “101 jobs that change the world” project, please submit a short paragraph about their role in research and innovation at Queen Mary via SharePoint.

The Research and Innovation Awards event will be held on 25 May 2023, from 2.30-5pm, at The Barbican Centre. You can find further details on the Research and Innovation Awards SharePoint site.
