InSPiR2eS Global Pitching Research Competition (IGPRC)

InSPiR2eS is the International Society of Pitching Research for Responsible Science. InSPiR2eS is a globally-facing research network with over 800 members, spanning 78 countries/jurisdictions, aimed at research training and capacity building. InSPiR2eS is hosting a global research competition (IGPRC) that invites novice researchers to submit a 1,000 word “research pitch” by 28th February 2022. The research pitch must conform to Faff’s (2021) “Pitching Research” framework, comprising 11 distinct components, as depicted below.

The pitch entry must be created by a higher degree research student (HDR) or an early career researcher (ECR), explicitly mentored by either a thesis supervisor or senior researcher. The IGPRC online Grand Final is planned for May 2022. The basic structure of the IGPRC is depicted below.
