*** With apologies for cross-posting *** We’re very pleased and excited to announce the nominees for this year’s IRMS Awards. In a change to practice this year, we decided to reveal the nominees in order to celebrate their achievement, as being nominated by our members – your peers – is an honour in itself. A huge congratulations to all of those listed below. Keep an eye out for more information about each of the nominees in the coming weeks. Judging will be by the Awards Panel (unless stated otherwise) and will get underway soon. One notable exception to this is ‘Innovation of the Year’ which (as well as being a new award) is living up to its name by being decided by a public vote! More information on this to follow soon.
