You will only be asked to take 5-10 minutes to present and 5-10 minutes to field some questions from our Selection Committee and your timeslot will be sent to you beforehand. Does this work for your or someone on your team?

Yes, works fine

If you're selected, we would work with you to kick off your project either in September 2024 OR December 2024. Do you have a preference for which kickoff date makes more sense for you and your organization? We will do our best to accommodate your request.

Yes, September 2024

No preference, both work fine for our organization

Bonus question: what are you most excited about when considering ENG(INE)? What would you want to see from the program if you're selected? We're open to any and all interesting ideas.
