They should then develop a project proposal (submitted as text or a video) for how this area of science could be conveyed as a piece of drama, dance, music or another type of performing arts.

The first IGGY Scholarship in Law & Humanities was awarded by Professor Gary Watt back in July to David Xiang from Arkansas, USA.
