Enter the Awards
The entry period for the Innovation and Impact Awards 2027 will open in autumn. Those interested in taking part are invited to contact uea.innovation@uea.ac.uk to be keep updated.
UEA staff, students and recent graduates (within 5 years) are eligible to enter the Awards themselves or nominate a colleague for their work. Nominees will have the opportunity to review and add/amend content before their project is submitted for judging.
Colleagues working at Norwich Research Park institutes are also eligible to enter if the individual or the project being submitted has a formal affiliation/link with UEA (i.e. research/commercial project collaboration, funding co-application, affiliation with UEA by REF submission, etc.)
Finalists and winners will be selected by a judging panel chaired by Prof Julian Blow (Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation) and including senior UEA colleagues, as well as guest judges from partner organisations including Aviva, the National Trust, Norfolk Wildlife Trust, and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
Email uea.innovation@uea.ac.uk if you have any questions.
