Description

The Summer Teams Enterprise Programme 2025 is an opportunity for undergraduate students to invest 7 weeks in participating in a fully-online skills development programme, where they will work on a real-life project designed and supported by University staff, gain virtual team-work experience in a group of diverse students, contribute to the University’s learning and teaching through working on impactful outputs, and get this experience listed on their HEAR transcript.

In 2025, the undergraduate students are editing articles on bacterial genera that were identified in human gut samples as part of the Microbes On The Move project. This is a different approach from last year, which was based on results from the Antibiotics Under Our Feet schools project. Data on the impact of this editing is still being collected.
