Are you a doctoral researcher in the field of Future Materials (or related research fields)? Do you want to share the impact of your research with others?

Enter our Una Europa PhD Impact Award competition, promote your research, and get a chance to travel to Bologna and participate in a storytelling workshop.

The Una Europa PhD Impact Award aims to recognise and celebrate the impact, and potential impact, that research and researchers across Una Europa partner universities have on society. Researchers are invited to present a short case study aimed at a non-scientific, non-technical audience. The case study should outline the (potential) impact of the research e.g., on society, the economy, the environment, health, education, technology, culture, or policy.

Your research project, submitted to the Una Europa PhD Impact Award should have a connection to Future Materials, which we understand as any material anticipated or expected to be developed or to become prominent in the future. Such materials possess advanced or novel properties, are more sustainable, or offer advantages over currently available materials in specific applications.

You can participate if you are currently undertaking a PhD at one of our 11 Una Europa partner universities, of which Freie Universität is a member. Deadline for submitting your case study is 15 September 2024.

The winners of the award will be invited to an Una Europa gathering in Bologna in November 2024 and they will receive the opportunity to participate in a storytelling workshop.

You can find more information on the competition on the Una Europa website.
