Queen's Anniversary Prize Winner

We have been awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education for 2009.

This is the first occasion in the history of the University that we have received this highly prestigious prize, which is awarded biennially to reward universities and colleges that demonstrate work of a world-class standard of excellence.

The award was made in recognition of the outstanding contribution to knowledge exchange made by the Building Performance Centre for a project involving sound insulation between attached dwellings and the development of Robust Details for use in the Building Standard Regulations. This recognition complements the world-leading classification awarded to Architecture and Built Environment during the Research Assessment Exercise 2008.

The prize will be presented by Her Majesty The Queen at a national honours ceremony to be held at Buckingham Palace Palace in February 2010. Full information is available via the 'Edinburgh Napier awarded Queen's Prize' press release.
