Professor Leanne Fleming awarded Stephen Young Award for Outstanding Business Idea Research Paper

Strathclyde Sleep Centre Director, Professor Leanne Fleming, was recently presented with the Stephen Young Award for Outstanding Business Research Paper at the Strathclyde Inspire Summit in May 2025.

This is the first time that this award has been presented to anyone in the Department of Humanities and Social Science. Thus, this is a massive achievement, and reflective of Professor Fleming’s high-quality and impactful research.

With the Stephen Young Award, Professor Fleming will receive £50,000 to begin the process of commercialising her research.

From everyone in the Strathclyde Sleep Centre, well done Professor Fleming!
