Programmes like Dragon's Den and The Apprentice have made entrepreneurship sexy. However, the University of Brighton was there first with its Innovation Awards. This year there is £8,000 to be won, £2,000 for the winning student (including graduates) and £2,000 for the winning staff member, in each of the two award categories.
So if you want to be the next James Dyson all you need is an innovative idea with potential or an existing idea, concept or application which presents new possibilities.
The awards are judged by a prestigious panel made up of university staff and local business leaders.
The closing date is 7 April 2006 and entry forms are available throughout the university and from Business Services business.services@brighton.ac.uk or call 01273 643222. Contact us for advice on your application, and help open up this opportunity to everyone.
