Excellence in Diversity Leadership Award 2024

For outstanding contributions to research or education in addition to emerging leadership and outreach contributions.

The Faculty of Science aspires to be a leader in developing a skilled workforce with a truly diverse range of experiences and perspectives. We believe this diversity of experience and thought is critical for solving the world’s greatest research questions and inspiring the next generation of scientists. Therefore, it is critical that we invest in developing academics with diverse lived experiences who can act as role models for this next generation. This award acknowledges an academic who has achieved excellence in research or education and will provide funds to further their academic work and thus assist to develop them into academic leaders at the University of Melbourne. The awardee will have also demonstrated a commitment to the diversity and inclusion of science by engaging in outreach or leadership activities to promote broader inclusion of underrepresented groups.
