In April 2023, as part of the PeaceRep team, I was awarded a Royal Society of Edinburgh Mary Somerville Medal for exceptional achievement in research in teamwork and collaborative endeavour within Scottish Higher Education Institutes (HEI), between Scottish HEI and other institutions/businesses, and within other institutions, nationally and internationally. This was awarded to the PeaceRep team for its pivotal role in networking peace and conflict organisations and supporting the establishment of digital peace processes.
