IGPRC 2022 Winner
It gives us immense pleasure to have successfully concluded the first-ever InSPiR2eS Global Pitching Research Competition (IGPRC) with the grand final held on Friday, the 10th of June 2022. To advance the mission of InSPiR2eS, this was a fantastic showcasing event of the innovative research ideas from six emerging and novice researchers from six different countries – Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. These grand finalists were shortlisted by the expert reviewers in multiple stages from the total of 303 participants across the globe. A big thank you to the VP (Competitions), country coordinators, sponsors, expert reviewers…
