About Researchers’ Grand Prix

Researchers' Grand Prix is a fun, exciting and educational competition in research communication for PhD Candidates.

Most Norwegian universities will host regional Researchers' Grand Prix competitions. The best research communicators selected in these regional competitions will meet in the national finals. The national finals are conducted exactly like the regional finals. 

The winner is then crowned Norway’s best research communicator.

  • 10 NTNU PhD candidates will compete in the regional finals in Trondheim.
  • They are offered coaching and time to practice until the regional finals.
  • During this time, the participants learn to craft two short presentations on one aspect of their research.
  • During the shows, the participants have a chance to convince the audience and a panel of judges that their communication skills are the best.
  • After each performance, the judges give each of the contestants immediate feedback and a score. The audience also votes electronically.
  • The participants in the regional and national finals have four exciting minutes to engage the audience and the judges.
