Award for innovative graduates

Agricultural Science Association and Kerry Group hope a new award will help Irish graduates develop new food technologies.

The Novus award is focused on promoting science-based excellence and innovation and rewarding high achievement by graduates working across the entire spectrum of agriculture and food. It is open to graduates who are full or associate members of the ASA at the time of application for the award.

Kerry Group chief executive, Stan McCarthy, said success in the global food industry demands a relentless focus on innovation.
