The award seeks to recognise outstanding supervision and exemplary supervisors who support the academic progress and wellbeing of their students throughout their postgraduate journey.
In February 2022, Council approved a new Award for Excellence in Supervision of Research Students, aligned with the strategic goals of continuous enhancement of teaching and learning, and standing up for research.
The award aims to acknowledge the important role that supervisors play in the success of their postgraduate students and rewards a culture of excellence in supervision in Trinity by recognising the significant contribution supervisors make to College’s teaching and research mission. The award also acknowledges the contribution of supervisors who support students in difficult situations.
