This award aims to recognise the top biomedical engineering projects in Ireland and the teams that drive them. If you can demonstrate developing innovative medical devices, diagnostics, and healthcare technologies, contributing to Ireland's thriving life sciences sector and healthcare advancements that has been completed within the last 18 months, then this is the award for you. Applications must either be made by the project engineer (individual, firm, or department), or a project collaborator but only if submitted jointly with the project engineer as we can only accept one submission per project. Entry is by a 5-page A4 PDF submission; the judges will be looking for a clear plan and evidence that it is delivering on core objectives, paying particular attention to the criteria listed below.
