Research Excellence Awards

The Open University (OU) Research Excellence Awards recognise outstanding research and celebrate some of the collaboration, knowledge exchange and achievement within the OU research sphere.

They began in 2018, followed by a special 2019 programme which featured a 50^th Anniversary Prize.

In 2022, more than 250 OU staff, students, funders and partners came together in London in September 2022 to celebrate the latest edition of the awards during a glittering evening at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden, where the OU presented awards spanning 12 categories.

The latest event took place in September 2024.
