Outstanding contributions to research honoured in Research Excellence Awards

Posted on: 01 June 2023

The recipients of Trinity’s 2023 Research Excellence Awards were honoured at a ceremony hosted by the Dean of Research this week.

Launched in 2020, the Research Excellence Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of researchers and those who support research in Trinity.

The awards are aligned to the seven core principles of Trinity’s Research Charter which sets out a vision to engage in research with the quality, intensity, depth, diversity, and openness that leads to fundamental breakthroughs, new understandings, key insights, and that can make translational and transformative advances. A call out to Trinity staff was made in March to nominate colleagues who best embody the spirit of a specific principle.

Presenting the awards Prof. Sinead Ryan, Dean of Research, said:

“I am delighted to be able to present these Trinity Research Excellence Awards to colleagues from across the university. These awards have been very deliberately designed to celebrate research, researchers, and those who support research, in a way that is more representative of the kind of research culture we want to nurture in Trinity.

“A special element of these awards is that everyone who was shortlisted for an award was nominated by a colleague. Someone took the time to think about the work that their colleagues do, and wanted to acknowledge and celebrate it. I hope everyone who was nominated for an award, not just the lucky few who have been selected to receive one, will feel proud of how their colleagues have recognised the contribution that they make.”
