It is with great pleasure that I can announce that nominations are now open for two prestigious annual prizes available to our doctoral community:

• The Godfrey and Sue Hall Postgraduate Research Student Prize 2023
• The Peter Troughton Research Staff Prize 2023

These prestigious awards aim to recognise the achievements of our very best postgraduate students and postdoctoral research staff. The awards recognise the important contribution that research students and staff make to the University.

Nominees will be judged by the quality of their research, including key results and their individual contribution to the research. Wider contributions such as external engagement, contributions within the University and entrepreneurial activities will also be considered by the Committee.

The University values, promotes and celebrates inclusion and the Committee welcomes nominations that reflect the diversity of our community when it comes to gender, ethnicity, disability and other protected characteristics.

The successful candidate for each prize will receive £1,000.
