Studiosity has come on board as Gold Sponsor of the Education Awards 2027, supporting a programme dedicated to recognising excellence, innovation, and leadership across Ireland's education sector.

Studiosity describes itself as the next generation of technology for assessment design and learning assurance, and is trusted by more than 250 institutions worldwide. Its Support & Validate solution gives students formative feedback that builds critical thinking skills while they draft. At submission, they can self-validate the authorship of their work with confidence rather than fear of detection. Educators, in turn, set the standard for AI use in each assessment and receive evidence of learning, all within a single platform.

That approach speaks directly to the questions now shaping Irish education. Universities, colleges, and further education providers are balancing digital learning and learning technologies with academic integrity and student success. Studiosity's focus on keeping learning visible while supporting responsible AI use aligns closely with the standards of education innovation and teaching excellence the awards exists to recognise.

Studiosity is just one of the Gold Sponsors of the 2027 programme, with further sponsors to be named soon, while Amárach Research serves as Supporter and The Irish Times as Communications Partner.

The Education Awards 2027 spans 27 categories, from Best Further Education Provider, Best Student Experience Award, and Best Online Learning Experience to Most Innovative Digital Transformation, Excellence in Sustainability, and Best Workforce Upskilling Initiative. 

Entries are assessed by an independent judging panel coordinated by Willie Donnelly, Director of Research and Innovation at the Technical Higher Education Association (THEA). It includes senior figures such as Mary Kelly, President of Hibernia College, Professor Rachael Langford, President and Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff Metropolitan University, and Patricia O Sullivan, Executive Director of the Higher Education Colleges Association (HECA).

The entry deadline is 18 December 2026, with the awards gala taking place on 15 April 2027 at the Johnstown Estate Hotel & Spa, where winners will be recognised before hundreds of senior executives from across Ireland's education community.
