THE Leadership & Management Awards 2014 shortlist announced

To flourish, an operation as large and as complex as a university requires creativity and dedication from a multitude of skilled teams. The Times Higher Education Leadership and Management Awards 2014 recognise those people and departments whose expertise and care help to ensure that their university prospers – and with it its staff and students. The winners will be announced on Tuesday 17 June at a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
