The 2020 Principal’s Medals for Exceptional Contribution

Reading time: < 1 minute

The 2020 Principal’s Medals nominations are now open, having been postponed during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

To reflect this exceptional year, the number of  Principal’s Medal awards will be increased to recognise individuals and teams who have played a critical role in how the University community has  responded to the Covid-19 crisis. There will only be one category: Exceptional Contributions.

Any current member of the University community may nominate using the downloadable form on the Principal’s Medals webpage. Self-nominations are not accepted.

The nomination form should be submitted by email to Nicola.Helliwell@ed.ac.uk by Monday 2 November, 2020 – please use ‘Principal’s Medals 2020’ in the subject header.

The Principal will choose the winners and they will be announced in December. These awards will be celebrated at an event in early 2021.

More information can be found on the Principal’s Medals webpages.
