Participants are tasked with responding to pressing real-world policy challenges as a group, and with designing policies and proposals in response to those challenges.


All students are encouraged to apply. If you passed the first screening you are able to register this initiative as a Case Study: GraSPP Policy Challenge I in A2 term. Finalist groups will be ultimately invited to present at the GPPN Student Conference* to be held at LKY School, Singapore in March 2019.

Please form a group of 4-5 students and apply through here by 31 October. If you face difficulties with finding your group members on your own, you can also apply individually and leave GraSPP to find your team mates. Announcement of the groups and advisors will be made by 9 November.
