On June 25th we were delighted to bring together colleagues, fellows, friends and partners of WIE to celebrate all that we have achieved together over the past year and to award our deserving 2024 WAPCE winners. The sun joined us for what was a lovely afternoon, beginning with a canapes and refreshments accompanied by live music at the Cryfield Sports Pavilion, followed by the award ceremony. The WAPCE awards recognise the vital contributions that Warwick staff and students make in engaging the public in our learning and discovery. They significantly contribute towards strengthening the role that we and the wider university play in the region. See the photos and more information from the event here.
