The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the University of Glasgow on being awarded a Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher Education for the work of the world’s leading centre for the study of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns; understands that the prize was awarded to the university in recognition of the range and impact of the projects undertaken at the Centre for Robert Burns Studies, chiefly editing and curating Burns for the 21st century; notes that the Queen’s Anniversary Prizes celebrate excellence, innovation and public benefit in work carried out by UK colleges and universities; further notes that the Queen’s Anniversary Prizes are the highest national honour awarded in the UK further and higher education and are granted every two years; understands that this is not the first time that the University of Glasgow has won a Queen’s Anniversary Prize, having previously won in 1994, 1998, 2013, 2017 and 2021, and commends the University of Glasgow on winning this prestigious award.
