This post is contributed by Ms Vimaleswari Danapal, Assistant Manager at the Graduate School.
The Tri-Campus Awards, which traditionally recognised and celebrated the achievements of postgraduate researchers took an interesting turn this year when outstanding postdoctoral researchers, research staff and research supervisors across all faculties were also celebrated for their outstanding contributions.
Background
The Postgraduate Prize Award recognise accomplishments in research, publications, conferences and contribution to the postgraduate community. Nominations are done through HOS/HOD and each school can only nominate one student. PGR students are also allowed to self-nominate themselves to HOS/HOD for consideration.
The Best Supervisor Award is designed to recognise academics who demonstrate sustained activity and interest in the supervision of doctoral students as a primary supervisor and have at least 80% timely completion rate of doctoral students registered at UNM.
Tri-Campus Awards
This year was special for the organising committee of the tri-campus awards as the event which took place on Tuesday 25 May 2021 was hosted “live” virtually through Microsoft Teams for the very first time. Joining link was circulated earlier and the ceremony brought together close to 200 award winners, colleagues, students, friends and family from across the three campuses to celebrate the achievements and outstanding contributions of the award winners.
Prof Andy Chan, interim Vice Provost of Research and Knowledge Exchange, in his opening address acknowledged how difficult and disruptive it had been to conduct research amidst the pandemic since last year but how the researcher community should always look forward to adapt under the new set of norms and culture to remain relevant. He went on to highlight that this year’s award is special as winners were not only chosen for their own research excellence or resilience but on the basis of their contribution towards the research community that is standing on the edge on a daily basis.
To quote Prof Andy Chan’s congratulatory remark, “Our winners showed what true human spirit is about, showing strength during this unprecedented times, to rally the people around them, organize the community and to think progressively and to bring the resources together so that the community continues to thrive”.
