Call for topics at universities participating in the programme.
A panel of experts from the respective universities select a maximum of fifteen (15) topics to continue to the next round.
The universities may accept submissions from current students or students graduating in the next 18 months (up to October 2019).
“It was terrific an honor coaching this group of students for The Challenge 2016/17. Programmes like these are critical for the future success of our profession, and I feel very fortunate to have worked with such a dedicated and hardworking group of budding designers. The highlight for me was seeing their ideas come together and develop into well-thought-out discussions that will resonate beyond this competition and ultimately push the industry forward.” Paul Gregory/US, Focus Lighting, coach 2016/17
