Canadian Association CRIC Launches Annual Awards

Canadian insights association CRIC has launched annual awards for the country's analytics and research professionals.

CRIC (The Canadian Research Insights Council) was formed in 2018 after Canada's MRIA was abruptly shuttered. CRIC has issued public opinion research standards specific to the country, offered the public a Research Verification Service for checks and complaints, and partnered with ESOMAR to adopt a localised version of the ICC/ESOMAR Code of Conduct.

Nominations are sought for four new awards:

• Public Service Impact
• Business Impact
• Innovation and Advancement in Marketing Research, and
• Excellence Behind the Scenes

The last of these recognises 'an insights or analytics practitioner or team whose efforts in areas such as technological advancements, data collection, recruiting, data processing and analysis or related area, while enabling the completion of market insights or analytics projects, are 'behind the scenes' and do not have direct client-side contact'.

Deadline for submissions is 28th April, with information on the awards and how to nominate available on the association's web site at www.canadianresearchinsightscouncil.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fe5f5725a7aba9e1fa2f12189&id=8e72bcef4a&e=3e4d2622d2 .
