ARC Accelerator

You’re interested in our upcoming ARC Discover and ARC Launch cohorts but don’t know which one is right for you? Let us help clarify! 🌟 ARC Discover: This workshop series is for researchers looking to explore different impact pathways and new audiences for their research. You don’t need to have a specific idea yet or commit to commercialisation at this stage. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gxVg33mb 🚀 ARC Launch: Our ARC Launch training is for researchers trying to test their venture idea with potential customers and external stakeholders, and identify the next steps to progress their idea. You need to have a rough idea of the project you want to develop in order to join. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eqH2z2BQ The ARC Pathway, our four-stage programme, is designed to guide researchers on their impact at scale journey. You can join at any stage, but as the different stages build on each other, we normally recommend starting with ARC Discover. Let us know any questions in the comments, and we’re excited to see you in one of our upcoming cohorts! ✨ #ARCDiscover #ARCLaunch #ResearchImpact #CohortLaunch #SignUpNow #ThisisSHAPE #ResearchImpact #Accelerator ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Aspect Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Network Sean BC Farran Julian Jantke James Woodhams, PhD Jennifer Dumle Daniel Frida Koslowski Dave Jarman Chris Fellingham

Are you ready to face the reality of launching your project? 🚀 At ARC Launch, we equip you with the tools, knowledge, and support to turn your ideas into impactful ventures. But don't just take it from us—here's what one of our past participants experienced: 💡 "I learned so much that it initially reduced my confidence because there was just so much to do. I realised the reality of launching my project, how much I needed to learn, and how much work I still needed to do. But the program helped rebuild my confidence." 😎 Ready to embark on this new journey and boost your confidence every step of the way?
