The project proposals must include all three key elements of a usual SESI project – education(awareness building),research(in-depth study of the current situation) andadvocacyto aim at making a tangible impact on opening access to SEE universities for the excluded and underrepresented groups by means of cultural, policy and legislative change. The project proposals must meet the following requirements: * be initiated and implemented primarily by undergraduate students; * involve cross-border cooperation among student organizations and/or groups. Project proposals may cover the preparation and actual running of the proposed activities, including preparatory meeting and/or training for network building, in-depth study on discrimination at higher education institutions in SEE, advocacy campaigns, etc. The maximum length of the project is 2 years.
