The Award process
Each year, UK universities prominent in work-related psychology studies are invited to nominate up to three of their best MSC research projects for the IG Work Psychology Innovation Award.
The students create a poster summarising their research, and judges from industry and the universities get the chance to question the students before each drawing up a shortlist of their top three projects, based on three criteria: innovation (is the research new?); research quality (is the methodology sound, are the conclusions justified by the data?); and practical application (could this be used in the workplace?).
The judges then compare shortlists before agreeing a winner, who receives a £1,000 cash prize. All of the nominated MSc students are also invited to attend Indigogold’s annual industry networking event.
