Researchers’ Grand Prix is a passionate, fun, eventful competition focused on research communication. Researcher’s Grand Prix puts the spotlight on research communication, and helps to highlight the breadth of Norwegian research at the PhD level.
At the Regional finals, each participant has four minutes to present their research to a panel of judges and the public. Competitors are judged based on the quality of the presentation, and its structure and content. The audience first casts their votes electronically, after which three judges — one from academia, one from journalism / media and one from the performing arts — award points based on their area of expertise.
The two best participants in the regional finals then advance to the national finals, where they compete with the two best regional finalists from Norway’s other universities.
