The Innovative Research Universities (IRU) website has been announced by the Australian Web Awards as one of the top three finalists in the education category for the National Awards in Melbourne.

The IRU website-designed and developed by Zeroseven-will be competing against Bam Creative's Highgate Primary School website and Western Australia Museum's Broadhurst Family website in the finals at the Australian Web Awards Gala Dinner at Scienceworks Museum in Melbourne on 12 November 2011.

Senior Project Coordinator Tara Fox will be representing Zeroseven at the awards ceremony.

The IRU website was launched in April this year. The website provides news, policy updates and general information on member universities. The main feature of the website is the interactive map of IRU member universities around Australia.

The IRU website will be Zeroseven's second nomination this year at the Australian Web Awards. Zeroseven was previously nominated as a finalist in the government category for the Q-COMP website at the Sydney Web Awards last October.

IRU is a network of seven Australian research-intensive universities-Flinders University, Griffith University, La Trobe University, Murdoch University, The University of Newcastle and James Cook University.

Zeroseven is a digital development house based in Brisbane and has won AIMIA, IMA and Australian Web Awards. Amongst Zeroseven's clients are Airportlink, Griffith University and Green Cross Australia.  See the IRU website at www.iru.edu.au .
