International Partnerships
For achieving significant impact and outstanding outcomes through international collaborations and networks.
Winner: Robert Harland
With a focus in Urban Design and Urban Heritage, Rob has grown to become an increasingly potent force in the school’s pursuit for funding and REF outputs. Working internationally, creating a network between China, South Africa, Australia and Brazil, he is helping raise the University’s profile across the globe. Utilising close ties and funding from UNESCO, it is clear Rob’s work helps people reappraise their environments and uncover the value of their history.
