This time, the Awards – which recognise the excellent work undertaken across both the 含羞草视频 and London campuses – celebrate our international research collaborations.
The standard of entrants was exceptional – making it difficult to whittle down the long list of nominees to a shortlist of just eight – and they illustrate the extent and breadth of the University’s international academic collaborations that enable research that could not be delivered by UK partners alone.
You are now invited to review the excellent shortlisted projects and vote for your favourite.

Professor Steve Rothberg, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research), says: “The Awards are now a year old, and each of the previous rounds has spotlighted the excellent research undertaken across campus.
“I’m delighted that the shortlisted projects this time round are equally inspiring. Each is a worthy winner. I hope the public vote will get people talking about our international research partnerships.”
Voting closes at midnight on Sunday 12 July, and the winners will be announced on Wednesday 15 July during an online celebration.
