About the Event

Over the course of the 48-hour Pandemic Policython competition, teams of one to four students heard from speakers from our partner network, received guidance from leading academics whilst writing policy proposals, and submitted their final briefs. Winning teams received a $200 seed grant, and are being invited to join Policy for the People's Policy Sprint of 2021.
