Well thats super cool, amazing!

So any undergraduate students (who must be full-time enrolled) should write a 1500 word essay, any topic on space medicine, space biology, space engineering, space art

Should these be proposals on a project? Just general assays in, about the domains?

Hello !

Is it possible to submit an application on behalf of an entire research group, or does the application need to be individual? Thank you.

Kind regards,

Arnaud de Wergifosse

Hi Ryan, these are general essays on the topic or a specific aspect of it rather than proposals. It is designed to pique interest in this area amongst undergraduates.
