Humanitarian Innovation Awards
The Professor Ron Johnston Humanitarian Innovation Awards encourages and rewards students to engineer cutting-edge solutions that have a positive impact for people around the world.
With growing humanitarian needs and limited funding, innovative solutions are vital to assist the most vulnerable groups in new and efficient ways.
Our annual Humanitarian Innovation Awards is a means of doing just that, by encouraging and rewarding university students to create cutting-edge solutions that could save lives and make a positive impact on people around the world!
