We appreciate the enthusiasm and commitment shown by everyone taking part and that everyones programme doesn’t complete at the same time.

This extension aligns all participants with the submission window already available to students from our partner universities. We believe this provides a fair opportunity for everyone to submit their best work while recognising the demands of academic schedules, examinations and end-of-semester commitments.
The extension also highlights one of the benefits enjoyed by our partner institutions. Through partnership, universities gain access to additional support, opportunities,and programme flexibility designed to help students maximise their participation and success.
If your institution is interested in learning more about becoming a partner university, we would be delighted to start a conversation.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and wish all participants the very best as they complete their projects.
