As we approach UCL’s bicentennial (UCL200) in 2026, the upcoming Honorary Awards cycle for 2025-26 offers a unique opportunity to strengthen and expand UCL’s relationships as we honour excellence from both within our community and individuals outside of UCL who embody our core values and ethos. We encourage a diverse range of recipients and invite nominations for consideration for 2026 awards to be received by the deadline of 30 September 2025. To submit a nomination, please review the award criteria, guidance, and nomination forms provided below.
