A new flagship four-month Social Sciences student and alumni accelerator hosted by LSE to support and scale socially-responsible student and alumni ventures opens for applications today. Up to 20 UK selected university student and alumni enterprises, all of whom are solving pressing socio-economic and environmental issues, will collaborate and develop their businesses over the a 4-month period. The new online accelerator brings together students and alumni from across the Aspect community (a network of Universities thats support innovation, entrepreneurship and research commercialisation in social sciences).

Participating student acceleratees will engage in a range of fortnightly online training boot camps hosted by both academics and practitioners from the Aspect network, and complimented by tailored online resources, community outreach assignments, mentoring, workshops and a tailored speaker series.

This webinar is an opportunity to learn more about the brand new Aspect Accelerator from the accelerator organisers with a Q&A session where you can pose all of your questions on the application process, accelerator content, and address any other queries you may have.
