Due to the technical problems some of the works didn’ t make it for evaluation on time, so the competition’ s jury has decided to postpone the deadline to 18.09.2018.
Each year, the Estonian Academy of Arts Department of Research and Development, in conjunction with the Tallinn City Enterprise Department, holds an Applied Research and Development Projects Competition aimed at motivating the Academy’s members to apply to a greater extent the results of their academic and research activity in the public, business and third sectors, raise the quality of the know-how provided by the Academy to companies and the public, and to raise public awareness of the application of the Academy’s knowhow in the economy and society.
The competition will determine the work with the most outstanding economic effects with regard to generating benefits to one or more companies or institution (800-euro prize), and the work with the most outstanding potential with regard to bettering social well-being and/or the living environment (800-euro prize). In addition, a special prize of 600 euros has been instituted. It can be awarded in either category to a worthy runner-up.
The members of this year’s competition jury are Jaanus Vahesalu of the Tallinn City Enterprise Department; Maria Jäärats and Kelli Turmann from the Estonian Academy of Arts Department of Research and Development; someone from the Faculty of Architecture; and a teacher from the Academy’s Design and Future Technologies speciality, Ruth-Helene Melioranski. Changes may be made to the jury members if the entries include work by any of their students.
The competition is well-suited to Academy of Arts students whose final thesis has attained applied output – where the result of the work may be commercialized or used in other organizations.
