Nominations for the Wiseman Prizes for 2022/23 are now closed, with awards pending (due approximately by end October 2023). The next round will open in the summer of 2024.
The Wiseman Prize scheme is aimed largely at research staff and research students (but may also include undergraduates) who make a commendable contribution to the work of the Department. The Head of Department will call for nominations from senior administrative staff and University Teaching Officers in the Easter term, and those nominated will receive a formal letter awarding them a "Wiseman Prize". Recipients may wish to mention that they have received this Departmental award on their CVs. The prize can only be awarded to an individual once in any 3-year period; any second or subsequent awards will be based on an assessment of new and distinct contributions.
Although we cannot guarantee funding, those making a commendable contribution worthy of an award will be looked upon favourably when applying for Departmental funds for travel and conferences and for 10th term funding for PhD students.
Examples of the types of activities which will result in a nomination are:
- Supervision, leadership, mentoring
- Events, courses, programmes, projects (e.g., seminars, practicals and tutorials, course design, demonstrating)
- Committees, groups (e.g., women@CL, Research Staff Forum)
- Outreach (e.g., volunteering)
- Other (e.g., contributions to social activities, group cohesion, camaraderie, positive environment, collaboration, welfare support to fellow students).
This list is not exhaustive - there are many ways students and staff can contribute. It is not expected that nominees will be contributing in all categories but nominees will be making a sustained or significant contribution to the work of the Department.
The decision to make an award will be at the discretion of a Committee acting on behalf of the Head of Department.
The names of recipients of the Wiseman Prize will be published on this webpage.
