One Brighton Staff Awards – Deadline for nominations 19 April 2024 at 6pm

The One Brighton Staff Awards opened on Wednesday 20 March. A celebration of the incredible contributions made by our colleagues across the University, the Research and Knowledge Exchange awards recognise individuals and teams at different stages of their careers for a body of work which can be research, knowledge exchange, or both.

The award categories for R&KE are:

R&KE Excellence Award 
This award celebrates excellence in research and knowledge exchange activity and recognises the delivery of an outstanding research and/or knowledge exchange project by either an individual colleague or a research team.

R&KE Sustained Impact Award

This award celebrates the achievement of sustained impact in research and knowledge exchange activity and recognises the role of an individual or research team in putting knowledge to work in partnership with industry and/or communities over time.

Excellence in Research-Teaching Linkages Award (joint award with Education and Student Experience) 
This award celebrates excellence in research-teaching linkages, a key priority in the University’s Global Challenges agenda. The award recognises the development of novel and creative ways in which research is embedded in pedagogical practice, with a focus on enhancing the student experience through the embedding of research practices in the curriculum. Examples might include the empowerment of students to play an active role in research activity as part of their education, the development of novel methods for involving students in research, a clear connection between the use of research in education and enhanced student experience

The deadline for nominations is Friday 19 April at 6pm. Nominees will be announced in April and the winners in June.

The winners will also be invited to an in-person One Brighton Awards Celebratory Event, hosted by the Vice-Chancellor. The University will also be taking the opportunity at this event to recognise and thank colleagues who have contributed to the University through dedicated long service of 25, 30 and 35 years.
