The Centre for Global Epilepsy nominated for Vice-Chancellors award

The Centre for Global Epilepsy has been shortlisted in the 2026 Vice-Chancellor’s Awards for the Making a Difference Globally Award. This category is for recognising colleagues who have made a difference to the lives of those outside the UK through University resources, expertise or insights. Judging panels from a number of University divisions and offices considered the 170 nominations across eleven award categories. 

The Centre teams said:

The Centre for Global Epilepsy is thrilled to be recognised in the 2026 Vice Chancellor's awards! The inclusion of lived experience by embedding oral history methodologies into our work is one of the CGE's core values across all of our collaborating sites in Africa, India and Brazil. Please follow our interdisciplinary work: https://www.globalepilepsy.ox.ac.uk/ or contact Sloan Mahone to hear more!

Award winners will be announced at a special ceremony hosted by the Vice-Chancellor on Thursday 4 June at the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. There will also be a showcase on Tuesday 2 June at the same location, providing an opportunity to celebrate together and inspire one another.
