The annual Excellence in Supervision of Research Students Awards have acknowledged the contribution of several staff members to providing an outstanding research experience for Trinity students.  

The awards programme, which was established in 2022, acknowledges the important role that supervisors play in supporting the next generation of researchers. The awards also reward a culture of excellence in supervision by recognising the contributions that supervisors make to Trinity’s teaching and research mission. 

Supervisors can be nominated by their students or by colleagues in their School, and after deliberation by a panel, awards are then given to supervisors in each faculty, under two categories: Established and Early Career. 

Congratulations to the awardees of 2023/24!
