The Global Undergraduate Awards aim to champion undergraduate research from around the world. Undergraduate students are able to submit their research across a range of 25 academic disciplines, and a winner from each category is selected by a panel of international academics and industry leaders.

Every year the winners and highly commended students are invited to attend a summit in Dublin, Ireland, with the chance to network with fellow winners and hear keynote speeches from academics, activists and business leaders.
