The Faculty of Arts and Education will prioritise projects that take a genuine co-design approach to improving educational and social outcomes for students working meaningfully with the community. Projects prioritising direct community/industry engagement, particularly where multiple service areas can be supported through a single initiative, will be regarded favourably. The faculty places a central importance on projects which support student access to novel experiences, including simulation. Projects should have a strong evaluation framework, and programs of activities with associated scholarly activity outcomes will be regarded favourably.
The Faculty of Business, Justice and Behavioural Sciences priorities centre around projects that drive innovation and scale in work-integrated learning. Priority will be given to funding applications focussed on direct industry engagement enabling WIL at scale and supporting students to access novel experiences. In addition, consideration will be given to projects that develop capacity for international experiences (for onshore international students) and our students off-shore.
