- Write a brief abstract detailing the challenge or industry opportunity; the approach to solve the problem or fast track building the opportunity; the fit with MBCRC and expected outcomes.
- Potential students should then email the abstract to the Education and Training Manager and identify the MBCRC industry partners who would potentially benefit from co-funding this project.
- The Education and Training Manager will liaise with industry to ascertain whether they are willing to support the project as is, or whether changes would be required. She will also liaise with the student and supervisor to ensure the project for approval is aligned with industry needs, co-led and co-funded by a MBCRC industry partner.
