We won this in 2014, so keen to retain that win this year.

Established 3 teams of 5 students each – providing a team size that allows / requires input from all team members.

I worked to ensure we had three very different levels of solution (ambition) being pitched, to maximize our (KU’s) chances of a win.

Due to my liaison with IDSA Chair in St Louis, we were allowed to enter all three teams – originally, it was capped to two per institute.
