Can’t find your subject area?

Not to worry, you can propose almost any subject area on the Open Stream.

The only restriction is that we can’t support any project that requires in-person arrangements, such as lab work, or any project that requires you to carry out primary research.

As part of your application, you’ll complete a project form highlighting which Subject Stream you’d like to follow and your proposed topic.
