Vote for your favourite Capture Your Research Contest photo!
During each AuthorAID Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) we host the Capture Your Research Contest. The contest asks for early-career researchers to share a photo of their research, and an accompanying description of their work. In our recent 'Mastering Grant Proposal Writing: Pathways to Successful Research Funding' MOOC we received absolutely fantastic submissions, so thank you to everyone who participated.
We would like for you, the AuthorAID community, to cast your votes on your three favourite submissions! Below you will find the shortlisted ten photos and their descriptions. The winner will be featured in a blog post with an interview on the AuthorAID website. Please vote for your favourite three entries on Mentimeter by clicking here.
For those whose entries are not featured here, your photos may still be used in future INASP and AuthorAID activities, so do look out for INASP and AuthorAID publications to potentially see your photos. We look forward to the next contest!
The voting will close on Tuesday the 2nd of January at 12pm GMT.

Our overarching objective was to assemble a comprehensive action plan addressing the intricate issue of internal displacement spurred by climate change and natural disasters in Bangladesh.”
