Each year the entries inspire, impress and delight, I am sure this year will be no exception." </p><div id="piano-container-inside-article" style="margin-bottom: 20px; clear: both;"></div> <p> Jason Miles-Campbell, Head of Jisc Scotland and Jisc Northern Ireland, which is also a sponsor, said: “We are very happy to once again be sponsoring the Innovative use of technology award with the Herald Higher Education Awards. </p> <p> "Scotland’s universities always produce excellent examples of innovation and technology enhanced education, so we look forward to hearing from this year’s entries." </p> <p> Anderson Strathern is another sponsor. Fiona Killen, the firm's Education Governance Lead and Head of Parliamentary and Public Law, said “We are proud to support these awards for the fourth year running. </p> <p> "We recognise that Scottish institutions are facing challenging and often uncertain times and are striving to achieve and sustain excellence in teaching and research. Institutions are operating in a global market place and there are impressive examples of innovation to secure sustainable funding and meet student expectations. The many talented people working or studying in the sector, from Scotland and across the world, are worthy of recognition and these awards are one way of doing that.” </p><div id="inArticleAd-2" data-name-place="DFP_in_article_2"> <aside><div class="OUTBRAIN" data-ob-contenturl="https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16137916.excellence-colleges-universities-rewarded-herald-higher-education-awards/" data-ob-installation-key="NEWSQ15BEE3GLF6A6AL9EECN9" data-widget-id="AR_2"></div></aside><script> if (whiteList === true) { $('#inArticleAd-2').remove(); } </script></div> <p> ** Entries are invited by visiting www.newsquestscotlandevents.com/heawards before the deadline of Friday, May 4.
