GUIDELINES

The following guidelines are used to assist the consideration of nominations.

Nominations on behalf of women, and other frequently under-represented groups, and of achievements little known in the English speaking world are particularly welcome.

1	The nominee or their achievement has a significant connection to the University – ie alumnus, staff member, work funded by the University.

2	The achievement has changed the world in which we live.  The definition of world can have an academic, cultural, political, economic or social context and is not limited to a particular geographic area. Nominations of those connected with the University who have achieved outside the UK are particularly welcome.

3	The vast majority of achievements must stand the test of time and it may not be appropriate to include them until a suitable period of time has elapsed in which to assess the full significance. This is particularly the case for achievements in politics and business.

4	Where the nomination is for a living person, that person’s consent to be included as a University of Glasgow World Changer will be sought.

5	While nominations are welcome at any time of year, decisions on designation of University of Glasgow World Changing status will be made in June by a committee chaired by the convenor of the Research Committee.
