We’re delighted to announce that three shortlisted nominees for this year’s Alliance Awards come from Coventry University Group!

The Alliance Awards, hosted by @UniAlliance, are an annual celebration of individuals or teams who have made a significant contribution to their university and local or global communities, going above and beyond to deliver substantial real-world impact.

The three nominees and their respective categories are:

◼️ Solar cookers in Rwanda - Global Impact category

The Solar Energy Transitions project, led by Dr Jonathan Nixon and Dr Alison Halford from our Research Centre for Computational Science and Mathematical Modelling, involved installing solar electronic cookers in 20 households in East Kayonza to reduce reliance on firewood and charcoal stoves, which harm health and the environment.

Results showed a reduction in firewood consumption from 3.4kg to 0.86kg per day and a 70% improvement in kitchen air quality, contributing to healthier living environments and saving time. Learn more: https://t.co/zuAc6a6YrI

◼️ Andrew Turner, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Curriculum at Coventry University - Lifetime Achievement category

Andrew has spent many years at Coventry University, leading educational and curriculum development.

He is among the most innovative problem-solving curriculum leaders in the country and has led several wholesale curriculum redesigns across all educational entities within Coventry University Group.

◼️ Hope 4 The Community - Local Impact category

@HOPE4TC (H4C) supports those with long-term health conditions through evidence-based self-management programmes.

Originating from our Research Centre for Intelligent Healthcare, H4C combines positive psychology, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioural therapy to enhance participants' quality of life. Their programmes, including the Hope Programme, have reached over 30,000 people.

@SarahSpoorUK @alf_collins @ChrisGrahamUK @PSCommissioner @rachelpower222 self-management research often lacks diversity, and ignores marginalized groups by ignoring their experiences. It uses a narrow biomedical framework, missing broader harms like injustice and inequity.

[Coventry University Research and Innovation @CovUniResearch]

Our digital health social enterprise spin-out, @HOPE4TC, has been shortlisted for a @SocialEnt_UK Award 2024! 🏆

Join us in congratulating the team for their dedication to improving health outcomes through digital innovation & community support 🫂👏✨

“Investment in personalised prevention cannot come at the expense of action on the wider determinants of health. New approaches to personalised prevention are just one part of the broader action required to deliver the government’s ambition to improve health and narrow inequalities.”

@alf_collins @ChrisGrahamUK @PSCommissioner @rachelpower222 I'll email you the paper with the references. It's in draft - submitting it to journal next week

[Prof Andy Turner @ProfAndyTurner]

@alf_collins @ChrisGrahamUK @PSCommissioner @rachelpower222 Hi Alf our latest didgital self-management paper shares your views. "Lack of attention to unintended harm linked to the lack of diversity in self-management research, highlights the need for an expanded ethical framework informed by disability justice scholarship"

[Coventry University Research and Innovation @CovUniResearch]

How can research & evidence lead to positive community outcomes? 🪄

Find out in our upcoming seminar with @GMatouskova & @ProfAndyTurner, who will discuss this using a @HOPE4TC programme as a key example👇
