By putting forward a nomination, you not only highlight their innovative work and dedication but also help elevate the visibility of impactful research within the university. Your nomination can open doors for the nominee - leading to greater collaboration opportunities, speaking invitations, and career advancement potentially. 

Submitting a case study for the competition is a great way to showcase the real-world impact of your university research.
