FLAGSHIP RESEARCH PROJECTS
The working group for the Flagship projects was initiated to create a collective understanding of what is important to consider for developing or supporting bold and ambitious (flagship) project ideas through ISSRA.
Led by Coralie English (Australia) and John Solomon (India), the working group consulted widely and developed criteria we will consider as new research ideas unfold.
