Established in 2023, the Student Innovation Award aims to raise awareness of ALS/MND within the global student community. It offers students a platform to showcase creative ideas that improve the quality of life for people living with ALS/MND and helps spark innovation in the field.
To be considered for the award, candidates must:
- Be a full-time student or part of a student team
- Have initiated and implemented a project that has the potential for international impact
- Present an idea that is both innovative and grounded in the real needs of people living with ALS/MND
- Demonstrate that the solution is both practical and accessible
The winning individual or team will receive a £1,000 honorarium.
The award is presented annually during the Alliance Meeting. If no suitable candidate is nominated in a given year, the award will not be granted. Please note that current Board of Directors are not eligible for nomination.
The 2026 nomination period is open. The deadline to submit your nominations is Tuesday, September 15.
