Gráinne promotes new and innovative opportunities, building careers and growing networks by encouraging team participation in sector professional development. In managing a Researcher Development team who all started in or since March 2020, Gráinne has inspired and motivated them through immense challenges, from moving the Researcher Development Programme online and transitioning back to in-person events, to encouraging new and more expansive projects such as running a collaborative mentoring scheme for researchers with Queen Margaret University.

University Enterprise Award: Johnson Zhang The University benefits greatly from the additional work Adam puts in their research, and in their role as Co-Lead of the LGBT+ Network. Adam is also a thoughtful and dependable sounding board and someone who is able to bring balanced consideration to complicated and controversial issues such as trans rights in female only spaces. Whilst Adam is open about their own personal inclusion challenges, they show the same energy about a wide range of issues, in fact anything that is about giving staff or students equity of opportunity. Adam regularly raises awareness of various topics or issues, very often with the lens of accessibility. He was successful with this funding and is leading on a project which involves technicians from various institutions creating virtual videos and presentations that explain the role of a technician.Īdam (preferred pronouns: they/them) is a tireless and knowledgeable campaigner for diversity and inclusion. These collaborations resulted in Russell applying for grant funding for a project to promote technical roles as a career. Russell is currently involved in various collaborative groups with technicians from various institutions around the country. He won the RSciTech CPD award in 2020 and followed this up by winning the RSci CPD award in 2021. Russell has been actively involved in numerous projects promoting technical roles. However, with much consideration, the panel’s winners were announced following a reception of food, drink, art, magic, and music. It’s safe to say the decision wasn’t an easy one for the award panel, and it certainly never got easier after shortlisting nominees. This year, 282 nominations were received with colleagues eager to praise their peers and share inspirational stories about the differences being made, not only in the University but much further afield. Geoff Day, Director of Marketing and External Relations, hosted the event with Principal Andrea Nolan, Chair of Court, June Boyle and the Senior Leadership Team on hand to present awards to our shining stars. Last night, Thursday 5 May, colleagues joined the Above and Beyond hybrid award ceremony to see ten awards presented to those who made an outstanding contribution throughout the last year and celebrate colleagues who have given 25- and 40-years’ service. Congratulations to our colleagues and teams who were recognised for their outstanding achievements in contributing to our strategy.
