The Institute is delighted to announce that colleagues who were seconded to the Lighthouse Lab in Glasgow at the beginning of the pandemic last year have been shortlisted for a prestigious Papin Prize.
The team of talented technicians have been nominated in the Covid-19 Recognition (National Impact) category as part of the Glasgow Lighthouse Labs team.
Named after Denis Papin, a 17th century technician who worked with Robert Boyle, and dedicated to celebrating technical excellence and innovation in higher education and research, 61 technicians have been recognised across ten categories.
This year’s prestigious awards will be presented at the biannual Higher Education Technician Summit (HETS) 2021 on 10 November 2021 at the East Midlands Conference Centre, University of Nottingham.
Kelly Vere, Project Lead for TALENT, said: “Since launching, the Papin Prizes have become one of the most highly regarded rewards for technicians in our sector. It’s the only award ceremony which is wholly dedicated to celebrating the varied role of technicians and the work they do.
“The Papin Prizes provide national recognition for technicians and help to raise the profile and status of technicians within the sector.
“Congratulations to all individuals and teams who were nominated. Shortlisting is never an easy task and the fact we have more than 60 eligible is testament to the quality of submissions we received.”
