FAQ:
Q: I'm already doing a full-time research project - am I allowed to work on that?
A: You're encouraged to work on a research question that will assist any research you're currently doing. However you should be presenting original findings, not work you've previously done (similar to a hackathon)
Q: Do I need to come prepared with a research topic?
A: There will be an opportunity to pitch research questions, so coming prepared with a well-scoped project is a great idea! (but not strictly required)
Q: Do I need to find my own team-members prior to the event?
A: The event organisers will match you with your team members based on mutual research interests
