The Higher Education Authority is inviting research students across all disciplines to make a short submission outlining the impact that their research will make to Ireland, or internationally.
The six researchers, who in the opinion of an independent adjudication panel, have put forward the most innovative or challenging ideas will be invited to present their research at a public event in The Helix at Dublin City University on Thursday 23rd April. They will have a maximum of ten minutes to make the presentation, which will be followed by a brief question and answer session with an expert panel.
Two awards of €2,500 sponsored by the Irish Independent will be made at the end of the evening, one by the expert panel and the other by a vote of second level students who will form part of the audience.
The six finalists will also have their research featured in the Irish Independent.
The submission can be in any format: if written, it should not exceed 1,000 words and an audio-visual presentation should not be longer than ten minutes.
The closing date for this competition is 5pm on Friday April 3rd.
