The Inform prize 2024 was awarded to the project "Aberdeen Uncovered", developed by Calvin Earshaw, Ignatious George, Dylan Moeller and Katie Campbell. The project was initiated by Dr Hans Hönes (Art History), who has worked with the student team over the last academic year to design a new webapp for heritage trails, aiming to unlock Aberdeen's cultural and artistic heritage for new audiences.

Dr Hönes is continuing this work this year in a follow-up project with Rev Marylee Anderson. Their aim is to develop a new digital solution for information about the King's College Chapel, aimed at the international tourist market. As part of this project, they are currently also advertising an opportunity through ABDNInternships.
The Inform Prize is a prize for computer science students; it was launched in 2014 and funded by Intelligent Plant to encourage students to think about how they might communicate their ideas and research findings to local employers, and promote interaction between industry and academia.
