The Royal Anniversary Trust produced the national programme to celebrate the 40th Anniversary in 1992 of The Queen's Accession. A registered charity concerned with education, it promotes world-class excellence in UK universities and colleges through The Queen's Anniversary Prizes. Awarded since 1994, they are the only educational awards within the national honours system.
The Queen's Anniversary Prizes recognise and celebrate world-class achievement in the UK's higher and further education sector. Every two years Prizes are awarded to universities and colleges for work of outstanding excellence. The Prizes programme is administered by The Royal Anniversary Trust.
