Projects

Student projects are a key part of the ANU McCusker Institute’s work. Our projects engage students and cover a wide range of topics related to social impact, community engagement, and research. Students can also propose their own projects, and we encourage students to get involved in projects that create change in their communities.

If you would like to propose a project, please get in touch.
