About the Challenge
Background
[Tell us a little bit about the big picture. What need is it that you are trying to tackle?]
The Challenge
1. The challenge in one line
[Clearly outline the aim of your brief in one or two sentences. Misunderstandings at this stage can get your team starting off on the wrong track, so try and sum this up as clearly as possible.]

3. Support
[Write down what support you are willing to give.]
[Also, have a think about how you would like the students to make and maintain contact with you. You don’t have to decide this now, but if you have constraints, it might be helpful to let them know in advance. For example:
-Partners who are based in Cambridge arrange weekly meetings in person.
-Partners who are based a long way from central Cambridge often arrange weekly Skype meetings with their team, or the team leader.
-Partners who are unavailable at certain times of day, or dates during the project, often let their teams know in advance.
Partners who prefer regular contact may suggest setting up a WhatsApp, Facebook or Slack group to maintain this communication.]

5. Documents or data
[List any documents or data your team should request from you, or links to them online. This gets your team off to a fast start, which is vital due to the timescale of the project. (Please note that all students sign an agreement at the start of the programme which ensures the safety of your data. If you would like help thinking about your data protection as part of the project, please do get in touch with us.)]
