Known Impact has to approve all projects that are submitted. This is to ensure quality, equity, and impactful collaborations.
If we have any questions about anything for clarity or feel that something can or should be clearer before making it live we will share that information with you and support you with that. This not only helps you to reflect on and summarise your work but it also increases the chances of connection and collaboration with a high quality project listing.
