By

Technicians from the Universities of Newcastle, Liverpool and Lancaster have been shortlisted and awarded several 2019 Papin Prizes, which recognise technical excellence in higher education and research.

Annette Bramley, director of N8, said: “It’s wonderful news to see that technicians working in three N8 universities have been recognised at a national level for the invaluable contribution they make to the UK’s higher education sector.

“The Papin Prizes showcase the very best and brightest minds in technical research services and it’s a testament to the staff and research teams at Newcastle University, University of Liverpool and Lancaster University to have been shortlisted. This achievement reflects the incredible contribution to research and outreach being delivered across the N8 network and we wish the shortlisted candidates the best of luck with the next stage of the awards.”
