EPCC HPC Systems Team and EPCC User Support Team awarded Principal’s Medal for Exceptional Contribution

The award was granted for "delivering exceptional service and demonstrating amazing commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic by developing the Edinburgh International Data Facility on time, and against all of the odds, supporting the Nightingale Hospital in London, and other ground-breaking COVID-19 research projects."

The Principal’s Medal was first awarded in 2008 and is one of the most important ways in which the University recognizes both professional services and academic colleagues or current students who have made outstanding contributions to both the University and wider communities, and consistently demonstrated the University’s Values. These awards are the highest bestowed upon students and staff in the University.
