MRS Awards 2007 - shortlists
We are delighted that this year has seen the highest ever number of entries for the MRS Awards – more than double the previous year’s.
Professor Michael Thomas, Chair of the MRS Awards Panel, commented: “The astounding number – and quality – of entries this year is testimony to the efforts of those across the industry, working to drive research standards up and deliver ever-better results. Our judging panel had a tough time this year, sifting through many impressive submissions. But the strength of the shortlist speaks for itself – with innovative research methodologies, exploring little-charted territories and taking market research right into the boardroom, these entrants have much to be proud of. “
