On 9 June, the University of Roehampton held the first Research and Learning and Teaching Awards. We have had awards previously, but this was a changed format, which was highly successful.
All awards, both Research and Teaching and Learning, were given to colleagues who had been peer nominated. Nominees were from all areas of Research and Learning and Teaching, from very established, recognised colleagues to those new to higher education and, in the case of Research, PG Research students too.
174 colleagues were nominated, over 100 in Learning and Teaching and 70 in Research.
