✱ ONLINE AWARDS

Bringing new talent into the market research industry.

The goal of these awards is to bring fresh, young talent aged 20-25 into the global market research and insights industry, with a particular focus on developing economies.

Each year, the programme provides up to 100 awards for the University of Georgia’s Certificate in Market Research , targeting individuals from low- and middle-income countries, especially those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The initiative aims to reach people from diverse academic disciplines who may not have previously considered a career in market, social or insights research. By fostering new and diverse talent, the programme helps expand the industry into emerging markets while giving access to those who may not otherwise afford this qualification.
