SSHRC Research for a Better Life: The Storytellers challenge

With its second annual Research for a Better life: The Storytellers challenge, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) is challenging post-secondary students to show Canadians how social sciences and humanities research is improving their lives, world and future.

Students are invited to send in their best three-minute pitch promoting a great SSHRC-funded research project happening at their institution. Be creative and push the boundaries: use a podcast, op-ed, or infographic to answer the following questions: 

• Where is the research taking us?
• What is the story?
• How does it impact Canadians?

The top 25 finalists will receive:

• a $3,000 cash prize
• national promotion of their pitch
• registration and accommodation at Congress 2014
• a place in a specialized research communications workshop
• a chance to present at the Storytellers Showcase

Submission deadline: Friday, January 31 at 5 p.m.

For more information, please contact David Holton, Communications Advisor, SSHRC, at 613.996.0520.
