s University presented with Queen’s Anniversary Prize in Palace ceremony We are delighted to tell you that the University of Bradford has been presented with a coveted Queen's Anniversary Prize in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace for its world-leading work in developing archaeological technology and techniques and its influence on practice, policy and society. The prestigious accolade, which honours world-class excellence and achievement, is the highest form of national recognition that UK higher education institutions can achieve. The University has been honoured for its leadership and innovation in pioneering the techniques, technology and practices of archaeology both in the UK and worldwide.   The University has, for over 40 years, been at the forefront of archaeological development, from the establishment of the world’s first course in archaeological science, to the pioneering and development of geophysical prospection as a fundamental activity, and more recently the exploitation of digital technology and the online opportunities to reconstruct, visualise and interpret heritage in new ways and to engage an ever-wider public, including as partner citizen scientists.   The Prize honours the work of archaeological sciences across a number of exciting projects that have had a major impact on the world, and you can find out more about them here.   “We are extremely proud and honoured to be awarded The Queen’s Anniversary Prize for our achievements in leading the development of archaeological practice, and delivering tangible scientific, economic and societal impact. The University has an established record in carrying out truly great research that significantly impacts on the world. The Queen’s Anniversary Prize demonstrates the difference that the University of Bradford is making in influencing not only how archaeology is practised but how, like all our research, it can be applied to benefit real lives now, in the UK and across the world.”  Professor Shirley Congdon, Vice-Chancellor     You can find out more about the difference that the University of Bradford is making in how archaeology is practised as one of a number of events taking place at the upcoming Unify Festival.
