New research awards are being launched to celebrate the work of both research and professional services staff that showcases research excellence as well as fostering a positive research culture and environment.

The new 2023 Research Awards build on the success of the which began in 2017, and include new categories to celebrate research that addresses real-world problems and improves academic practice. Research engagement and impact take many forms and applications are encouraged from all research themes and associated functions across the University.

The four new categories are:

• Public engagement with research: this award recognises achievement in research-led public engagement.
• Openness in research: this award will recognise individuals or teams who have used open research practices to make their research more accessible, transparent or reproducible.
• External collaboration and partnerships: this award celebrates external engagement and the development of lasting and successful academic and/or non-academic collaborations in research and innovation regionally, nationally or globally.
• Research impact: this award recognises individuals or teams who undertake high-quality, creative and innovative engagement and impact activities to address real-world problems and change the world around us, locally, nationally or globally.

Winners will receive £1000 towards their next engagement activity.

Professor Parveen Yaqoob, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation said: “We are delighted to launch these new Awards that reflect the depth and breadth of activities going on by all research and associated staff. The new categories support implementation of the research strategy and are a response to ongoing work on public engagement, research integrity and knowledge exchange, and recognise the importance of our professional services staff in delivering the research strategy, as demonstrated by REF.”
