NAMRIP members have won three awards at the annual University of Southampton Roadshow Awards event.

Dr Marcela Hernandez Garcia won the Research Communicator Award. Particular note was made of her enthusiasm communicating NAMRIP messages to people in whatever language they brought to the exhibit!

NAMRIP won the Wow Factor/Impact award for “the most dangerous game in the word” which was recently mentioned in Parliament for its contribution to outreach . This is the second year in a row that NAMRIP has won this award, each time for a very different exhibit.

Dr Craig Dolder won the Best Digital Engagement Award, not just for his many contributions to NAMRIP but for his work in giving outreach a digital presence throughout the year.
