Behind the scenes

To ensure full transparency we have detailed the selection process and shared details of the system used for online voting.

Selection committee

• Applications will be shortlisted by a selection committee made up of a cross-section of the University community.
• The selection committee will meet in early February and the shortlisted nominees will be contacted by the end of February. 
• Members of the selection committee are not permitted to nominate or vote.
