EAUC CEO chosen to judge the Guardian University Awards

12th September 2012

The Guardian University Awards recognise best practice, achievement and innovation across a range of categories. In areas ranging from teaching best practice and innovation to campus facilities the awards will act as a benchmark for excellence and offer universities a seal of approval to endorse their ongoing great work.

EAUC CEO, Iain Patton, has been chosen to form part of the judging panel, acknowledging the EAUC's strength in recognising and promoting sustainability best practice. Iain sits alongside a panel offering a wealth of sector experience, including Alex Thompson, director of policy, Russell Group, Liam Burns, president, NUS and Pam Tatlow, chief executive, Million+. 

The awards are based on specific projects and will reward institutions that have undertaken projects which have delivered services or work over and above the expectations of students, staff and other institutions.

HEIs, university departments, professionals working in the HE sector and students and graduates will be invited to nominate institutions and departments in the UK for initiatives, services and excellence.

Entries will be paid for and must be focused around a specific initiative, campaign or project, within our outlined categories. The categories will be judged by our panel of judges.
