Shortlist Unveiled: King’s Engaged Research Awards Ready for Inaugural Recognition

35 nominees have been shortlisted for the inaugural King’s Engaged Research Awards. Created by King’s Engaged Researcher Network (KERN), the awards aim to recognise and celebrate impactful public and community engagement with research across King’s. The shortlist was selected from 86 nominations received by the KERN Working Group.

Representing eight of King’s faculties, nominated research projects involve audiences and external collaborators from a range of backgrounds, including community groups, arts and cultural organisations, business and healthcare.

The shortlist reflects a very high standard of entries and only represents a small selection of the impactful research taking place across King’s. The awards ceremony will be an opportunity for the King’s community and our partners to celebrate our commitment to meaningful public and community engagement with research.
