Research Got Talent

The annual competition showcases the best and brightest of young research talent from around the world. Promoting data, research and insights in service of important societal challenges.

What is Research Got Talent?

Research Got Talent is an annual competition organised by ESOMAR in partnership with regional Market Research and Insights associations worldwide. The competition focuses on the next generation of researchers using their skills to help NGOs and charities reach their goals.

Market Research and Insights are not just for commercial gain. This is why the Research Got Talent competition demonstrates that the industry’s skills can be used to create a positive impact on the world and build a better tomorrow. Previous finalists used their skills to support vulnerable children, the elderly, healthcare and women’s rights and have successfully affected relevant legislation.
