Steps for submitting a new SSP Project idea
There are a few things to consider when developing your project idea, these include:
Ensure your idea aligns to the Project Selection Criteria
Members of the SSP Projects Team and nominated student partners review all submissions in alignment to the selection criteria. If the panel has queries, you may receive an email to seek clarification on elements of your proposal. Project Instigators will be invited to respond to these queries (as detailed within the specified timelines).
