The prize for Team Culture goes to a highly interdisciplinary team that crosses a number of Schools, centres and disciplines across the University. They prioritise Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) and co-creation approaches in all their research and engagement activities, making individuals and communities an inseparable part of their team. Their outstanding dedication to building a truly interdisciplinary culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and shared commitment to impactful research that benefits society makes them the worthy recipient of this year’s prize.
