The shortlist is here for the 2015 Young Leaders Awards, in association with University Business magazine.
In its inaugural year, the awards has prompted a fantastic response from across higher education with a large number of nominations across all categories. Our panel of expert judges were highly impressed with the standard of entries. Chaired by University Business Editor Rebecca Paddick, the panel included Stewart Ross (University of Leeds and CUBO), Melanie Loizou (consultancy Fish Climb Trees), Rebecca Petford (EAUC Scotland programme coordinator), Karla Youngs (JISC national services director) and Lee Fellows (University of Edinburgh and ASRA).
To find out who the winners are, why not book to come along to the awards ceremony on 4 November at London’s Park Lane Hotel – winners will be kept top secret until then.
