The Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest has extended nominations for the 2024 Innovators Awards until Sept. 27.

Categories include individual and team innovator awards, advocates for innovation and youth innovation. Candidates for the Richard C. Sussman Prize for Team Innovation and the John H. Davies Lifetime Achievement Award also will be considered. The advocate for youth innovation is a new category this year.

“One of the strategic goals of Purdue Northwest is to foster innovation and entrepreneurship. The Society of Innovators plays a critical role in that by shining a light on the successful innovators across our region,” said Niaz Latif, associate vice chancellor for commercialization and research and executive director of the Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest, in a press release.
