Two IMS Members Honoured in the Women of Achievement Awards 2018
Two IMS members, Professor Claire Honess and Professor Julia Barrow, were honoured in the Women of Achievement Awards 2018, which celebrates the significant contributions and impact of winners.
Women of Achievement Awards
The Women of Achievement Awards are vital to the University's Leeds Gender Framework. Held for the fifth time this year, the awards celebrate the significant contributions and impact winners have made across the University and beyond; this year a total of 15 female colleagues and students were recognised. Those receiving awards were recognised by their peers, and share a common commitment to excellence in their fields.
