ENTER FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A TRIP TO AMSTERDAM

Entries for the 2023 Research Got Talent Award (RGT) competition have officially opened.

Now in its fourth year, the competition is a joint initiative of the Australian Data and Insights Association (ADIA) and the global ESOMAR Foundation. It encourages young professionals to use market research and insights to support local charities and NGOs to overcome pressing social issues.

The competition is open to young research professionals aged 18-35 who are ADIA member organisation employees or work for an ESOMAR Australian-based member (individual or corporate). Entries close on 24 May 2023. 

The Australian winner is automatically entered into ESOMAR’s global competition, giving them a unique opportunity to attend the ESOMAR Congress held in Amsterdam September 10 -13, 2023 and invited to participate in the ADIA Leaders Forum Conference in 2024.

Last year’s Australian winners also won the ESOMAR Global Research Got Talent (RGT) 2022 Award. Marissa Tsioutsis and Roger Kong from Fiftyfive5 took out the top honours against finalist teams from Russia, India, Argentina, Peru and Canada.

Kong and Tsioutsis's entry Supporting the Vision to Free Australia from Youth Homelessness was produced in association with For Change Co. A social enterprise that provides tools to empower young people to create their own pathway out of homelessness.

Kong and Tsioutsis strongly encourage all young researchers to have a go and that it had been their biggest career highlight to date.

“We hope that this initiative enables you to be more involved and networked with the industry. It has allowed us to meet so many amazing people and truly given us exposure to parts of the industry that would not have previously been available to us. And you have so much fun along the way,” said Tsioutsis.

“What an incredible initiative the Research Got Talent competition is for young talent in our industry. To be able to apply your passion, knowledge and skills towards an important social issue and make a real difference for the community is truly inspiring.

“It was wonderful to see Roger and Marissa representing Australia in the global competition and the personal development, industry exposure and recognition they have received from this initiative. I strongly encourage all young talent in our industry to apply for this year’s competition.” Jenny Witham, Partner, Fiftyfive5.
