150 Years of Discovery: Emerging Research video competition

The Royal Society Te Apārangi Early Career Researcher Forum invites New Zealand’s ECRs and postgraduate students to celebrate and share their research, innovations, discoveries and insights through this year's '150 Years of Discovery: Emerging Research' video competition.

This competition offers early career researchers a unique opportunity to showcase their discoveries and insights in a short video and sharing it with the public.

With the generous support of our sponsors three winners will be selected for two categories: one winner for the Future Leader Award, which will be decided by an expert panel, and two winners for the Peoples Choice Award, which will be decided by public voting. The winners of both prizes will each receive a cash prize in support of their research.

The winner of the Future Leader Award will also be sponsored to attend the Royal Society Te Apārangi's annual gala dinner, the New Zealand Research Honours, on 10 October 2017, where their video will be shown and their prize will be awarded.
