AMP Ignite

We’ve got a unique opportunity for a selection of Auckland’s PhD students to pitch their research in front of a live business audience!

When: Thursday 23 October 2014
Where: Galatos, Newton, Auckland

Applications are now open! Visit ampignite.co.nz.

With AMP Ignite, students will have just 150 seconds to convince a panel of judges why their research deserves the $5,000 Grand Prize, while also trying to win the audience’s vote for the $1,000 People’s Prize.

Mentors from the advertising and entertainment, and science and technology industries will assist selected students to think outside the box and commercialise their thinking!

Help a PhD student further their research by encouraging them to apply. Share this email with them and your wider Postgraduate community. But you’ll need to be quick! Applications are open for 3 weeks only.

  1. Seems a little farcical to reduce your PhD and “perform” in front of entertainment “moguls”…not.
    Of the five mentors, only one has a PhD. Will be giving this a miss.
