Recognising alumni who make a difference.  

The Being Edinburgh Alumni Award celebrates exceptional alumni who have made a transformative impact in their fields and communities. This prestigious award acknowledges those who are shaping the future with integrity, innovation, and a commitment to change on a global or local scale.  

Being Edinburgh, our annual alumni award, was launched in 2020 by the University of Edinburgh’s Development and Alumni department. It was created to share stories, recognise achievement and get to know our university community.

Voting for the 2025 award is closed - the winner will be announced this summer.
