Finalists and the winner will be selected against the following criteria:
- The extent to which their nomination demonstrates “Outstanding” Supervisory Practice

One supervisor from each of the finalist teams will be required to make a short presentation to delegates as part of the judging process on the afternoon of Wednesday 1st February 2023 at the Research Hootenanny 30th January – 3rd February 2023. The presentation should address and consider their approach to research supervision and its impact. The independent panel will then consider presentations, nomination and supporting statements to select a winner against the criteria. The results and award will be presented during the conference. The winning supervisory team will receive £500 each towards a national or international conference of their choice to be used within 12 months of winning the award.
