51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

At a time when the role of universities seems to be contested from all sides, it is more important than ever to celebrate their achievements and their contribution to society. It is also all the more vital that institutions learn from best practice across the sector to ensure that they maximise their impact. Best practice abounds in the shortlist for this year¡¯s Times Higher Education Awards: no matter the hurdles that arise, institutions continue, it seems, to clear them and smoothly accelerate towards their next goal. THE is proud to shine a spotlight on the individuals and teams who underpin this success.

This year¡¯s THE Awards ceremony takes place on 29?November at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
