Applications are now open for the 2021 Papin Prizes – the UK’s only awards entirely focused on recognising technical excellence in higher education and research.

This year’s prizes include the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is given in honour of Professor Lord Bhattacharyya, founder Chairman of WMG at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, who was a passionate champion of the work of technicians.

The Papin Prizes recognise the outstanding work that higher education technicians do, often behind the scenes, to ensure that the highest possible quality of teaching and research can be delivered.
