Excellence with impact awards

This award acknowledges university departments that are most active in embedding a culture that recognises the importance of economic and social impact alongside excellent research.

The competition is running from 1 December 2008 to 1 December 2010 with selected departments being monitored over this period.

Two prizes of £150,000 will be awarded for:

• The department that has been most effective in introducing a significant culture change, which values impact as well as research excellence
• The department that best demonstrates the delivery of economic and social impact over the period

There will be a runner-up prize of £25,000 in each category.

Prizes will be awarded at a prestigious gala awards dinner in central London in March 2011, with national publicity for the winning departments.
