• RESEARCH GOT TALENT AUSTRALIA 2025 - ENTRIES CLOSE 21 JULY 
• TRUST MARK MEMBERS - DIRECTORY UPDATE 

Now in its sixth year, the 2025 Research Got Talent competition recognises and celebrates emerging talent in the data and insights industry. 

A joint initiative of the ADIA and the global ESOMAR Foundation, and open to young research professionals aged 18 to 29 who are employees of an ADIA member organisation or work for an ESOMAR Australian-based member (individual or corporate), Research Got Talent encourages young industry professionals to utilise market research and insights to support local charities and NGOs in addressing pressing social issues. We also encourage employers to support their up-and-coming talent. 

Entries for this year’s competition opened on Tuesday, June 3 and will close on Monday, July 21.  Winners will be announced in mid-August.

The Australian winner is automatically entered into ESOMAR’s global competition, offering them a unique opportunity to attend the annual ESOMAR Congress, scheduled to take place in September 2026. They will also attend next year’s ADIA Leaders Forum in Sydney.

With special thanks to our returning Sponsors

The Trust Mark helps protect clients' reputations and integrity, reduces risks for all parties involved, and instils confidence and certainty. Additionally, it assures buyers that their data will be protected for research purposes.
