Vice Chancellor’s Awards for Public Engagement with Research – nominations open

Nominations for the Vice Chancellor’s Awards for Public Engagement with Research 2019 are now open, with a closing date of 28th May 2019.

Ensuring members of the public can explore, understand, value and gain from research is vital to universities today. Public engagement makes university research and researchers more accessible to wider society, increasing public support for research and opening up new partnerships and ideas.

The Vice Chancellor’s Awards for Public Engagement with Research recognise staff and students who have made outstanding contributions to engaging people and communities beyond the university in new knowledge, invention and discovery.

Awards will be made annually in the categories of Individual Staff, Individual Student and Team. Heads of School/Senior Managers (or similar) of nominees are notified and an award panel will convene to assess nominations.

Anyone can nominate a staff or student for an award; members of the public, and staff and students at the University of Lincoln are strongly encouraged to nominate individuals and/or teams for awards. Nomination forms and guidelines are available at http://pearl.lincoln.ac.uk/vice-chancellors-awards-for-public-engagement-with-research/.

Please send completed nominations forms to Rosie Damarell (HR) rdamarell@lincoln.ac.uk by 28th May 2019.
