A group photo showing about 28 diverse people standing closely together indoors, many holding plaques or trophies. Above the photo, large text reads: "10 YEARS SINCE MIDLANDS INNOVATION LAUNCHED HETS AND THE PAPIN PRIZE." Below that, smaller text says: "10 years of championing and celebrating the role of technicians." In the bottom left, a yellow arrow-shaped block contains text inviting viewers to "Meet some outstanding past winners whose expertise, knowledge and dedication have helped elevate the visibility of technicians." Logos for UK Higher Education Technicians Summit (HETS), UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and Midlands Innovation 10 Years of Impact appear at the top of the image.
10 years ago today, Midlands Innovation launched #HETS and the #PapinPrizes to celebrate the work of technicians in HE & research. Today we reflect on past winners and look ahead to doing it all again at #HETS2025
