Dekko Comics & Heriot-Watt, 2026 PRIME Awards

A couple of weeks ago Dekko Comics attended The Principal's Research Impact and Engagement or PRIME Awards, where a comic we were commissioned to develop exploring the ethics of AI was up for an award.

The PRIME awards recognises outstanding achievement, innovation and creativity in impact and public engagement with research; celebrating activities with the potential to create economic, social, environmental and cultural impact from research, and engage broad publics, new stakeholders and underserved audiences.

The comic was created by the hard working humans at Dekko Comics and Heriot-Watt University as part of Heriot Watt's AI Season, a multidisciplinary public engagement project led by Heriot-Watt University Professor Marcelo Pereyra that blends art, sport, and science to help families and young people explore artificial intelligence.

While we did not win the award, it was great to be involved in another Dekko Comics commission with our long-time collaborators at Heriot-Watt University and the Heriot Watt Engage team.
