Nomination process

Nominations process and deadlines for the Chancellor's Awards.

There are four categories:

  • Chancellor’s Award for Outstanding Contribution
  • Chancellor’s Award for Research
  • Chancellor’s Award for Teaching
  • Rising Star Award

Further information of the criteria for each category, and guidance on what information to include in your nomination, can be found on the separate criteria page. This will be made available when the nominations open for 2025

Points to note

  • Any current member of the University community may nominate for any of the awards. Previous nominations may be resubmitted.
  • Self-nominations are not accepted.
  • Successful nominees must make themselves available for the Chancellor’s Award dinner, where the awards will be publicly announced. The dinner usually takes place in the autumn but may be subject to alternative arrangements. Successful nominees will be contacted once the event date has been confirmed, usually mid-late summer.
  • There will be internal and external communication of the awards, which may involve Award winners in public speaking engagements.
  • The University of Edinburgh reserves the right to withdraw the award at any point.
  • The nominee has the right to request this nomination form under data protection rules.
