TThe Ray Wijewardene Charitable Trust (RWCT), in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Inventors Commission (SLIC), is pleased to announce “The Ray” Award for Innovation for the second time.
“The Ray” is a life-time honour awarded once every three years in memory of the late Ray Wijewardene, the foremost inventor produced by Sri Lanka, to help a recognised inventor to commercialise his or her invention.
The Trust invites all past winners of the Presidential Award, presented by the Sri Lanka Inventors Commission, to apply for this award by or before 15 March 2015.
