Prize winners
There have been 275 different Prize-winning entries since the scheme was launched in 1994. The winning colleges and universities come from all four countries of the UK and from all types of institution, both older and newer.
Their work comes from a wide range of disciplines. In the last round this included cancer drug development, theatre costume design, research in improving dairy cattle yield, vocational and degree-level engineering training for UK infrastructure development, supporting the digital economy and combating the Ebola virus.
Staff and student representatives from the Prize-winning institutions are invited to the presentation of the Prizes, which are received by the institution heads at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace. The Prizes open the door to new business and developmental opportunities, new partnerships and other practical support in the years ahead.
