FORCE Student Awards 2

Bill Harvey describes the runner-up winning projects for the 2021 FORCE awards

The CooperVision FORCE Student Awards acknowledges student projects from the universities of the UK and Ireland and offers the students shortlisted a chance to present their findings to panels of experts at a UK and international level. Optician always aims to support this noble project and aims to have the winning students have their first taste of publication.
