AQ Official Sponsor of THE Awards 2026

We’re proud to be supporting the Times Higher Education Awards 2026, to recognise and honour the outstanding work of universities, their teams, and individuals who help to drive relentless progress.

These awards are inclusive by design, so underpinning everything is the belief that ground-breaking and inspirational work can take place anywhere, whatever the shape or size of the institution. We’re delighted to be supporting two awards this year:

• Outstanding Contribution to the Local Community – recognising individuals, teams or institutions that have made the most imaginative attempt to aid the wider community socially, culturally or economically.
• International Collaboration of the Year – recognising exceptional projects or joint ventures carried out between a UK/Irish institutions and international partners.

We look forward to showcasing some of the shortlisted achievements over the coming months, and our Higher Education team look forward to taking part in the ceremony at the gala dinner in Birmingham towards the end of the year.
