About

This category recognises individuals and/or teams in professional services and technical roles who have made a significant contribution to research and/or impact at Warwick over the past year.

Nominees may include research support staff, technicians, and research project managers, but staff in any non-academic roles may be nominated.

Colleagues in technical and research support roles are a vital part of our diverse research community, but their contributions are often less visible. This award celebrates contributions that enable the excellence of Warwick’s research and impact and recognises the wide range of job roles that are key to our research environment and culture.
