“This engagement opportunity has enabled us do so much to benefit insect science in the last year and will keep having such a major impact for the scientific community in the years to come.”
– Simon Ward, RES CEO
“The judging panel collectively agreed that this event was exceptional. It not only met but exceeded its ambitious goals. This initiative was clear and compelling, the use of an immersive garden to raise awareness about the crucial role of insects during the 5-day event provided research, education and training in an engaging manner that captivated over 150,000 visitors. Furthermore, the stunning garden that took centre stage will continue to serve a community and provide ongoing education. The event demonstrated a high degree of execution, creativity and originality. Congratulations on an outstanding achievement and for creating an immersive educational experience that engaged both your members and the public alike.”
