This result shows the high engagement in educating people within the School. This outcome is in the long tradition of excellence in teaching which yielded numerous awards to members of the School of Natural Sciences.
Finally, I want to note that this is, to my knowledge, the first time that a team received this prestigious award.
Congratulations to all awardees - well done and well deserved
