What is The Inform Prize?​

Launched in 2014 and funded by Intelligent Plant 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 tasked with creating a digital solution to a real life problem. A panel of judges are presented with videos by the students which demonstrate their teams product in action.

​

Teams also take part in a question and answer session before the judges go on to decide who the winners are.​

Inform Prize 2024 - Aberdeen - Video Highlights

"The whole event was excellent. I was immediately struck by the ‘local derby’ energy in the room, with the two universities engaged in a bit of friendly competition. Meanwhile, the engagement with industry guests was brilliant to see, with local employers showing genuine interest in the students’ work, and the students doing a fantastic job of communicating their ideas.

I came away from the Inform Prize wondering why we don’t have something like this in Glasgow – or, indeed, across Scotland. If we could replicate the energy, enthusiasm, and engagement that Steve Aitken and the team have created in Aberdeen (complete with that ‘local derby rivalry!) we’d surely be on to a winner when it comes to promoting interaction between industry and academia, and seeding innovation in our tech sector as a result – not to mention developing a generation of computing professionals with the skills required to successfully pitch and develop their ideas."
