Winners announced for Tri Campus Awards 2023

Recognising exceptional contributions & celebrating extraordinary accomplishments 

Our annual Tri Campus Awards are an opportunity for us all to come together to recognise and celebrate colleagues who have made exceptional contributions to our researcher community.

At University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM), these prestigious awards celebrate outstanding postgraduate researchers, research teams and research supervisors.

This year the awards ceremony took place on 17 May 2023 and was streamed live. The ceremony brought together all the award winners from across the three Nottingham campuses.

In his congratulatory and closing remarks, Professor Christopher Gibbins, Interim Vice Provost for Research and Knowledge Exchange said, “It goes without saying that research is fundamental and an important part in what we do as a university. And so it is only right, and of course with great pleasure, that we appreciate and recognise your contributions to the University through these awards. It is great and entirely appropriate that the awards are not just for postgraduate students, but also to research teams and supervisors. On behalf of the University, I would like to congratulate and thank you for your contributions to the University.”
