What is The Inform Prize?

The Inform Prize aims to encourage students to think about how they might communicate their ideas and research findings to local employers, and promote interaction between industry and academia.

Students are initially tasked with creating a digital solution to a real life problem. Their ideas will be presented in video format to a panel of judges, where they'll give a demonstration of their product in action, they'll also take part in a question and answer session before the judges go on to decide who the winners are.

The Inform Prize has been an annual event in Aberdeen since 2014, and this will be the second time that the event will run for student of the Glasgow universities.
