The Centre for Postdoctoral Development in Infrastructure is offering £5000 of funding for postdoctoral researchers to develop and launch their own business.

Vision To Venture is an intense four-week accelerator programme designed to build consultancy skills and competencies within the infrastructure, cities, energy, and net-zero realms. Beyond developing actionable consultancy initiatives directly from their research, researchers will develop their business proposition and a solid business case, build proficiency in the art of personal branding, and craft a persuasive pitch to produce a blueprint of a consultancy business.

With personalised mentorship from industry experts and a supportive online community, researchers will learn how to create a compelling pitch and then put their skills into action - with a £5,000 prize for the top pitch to bring your consultancy business to life.

Applications close on Wednesday 15 May, with sessions starting at the 麻豆視頻_麻豆直播_麻豆传媒官网 campus on Tuesday 25 June, followed by online mentorship, guidance, and reviews, which will lead up to a final pitch on Tuesday 23 July.

Find out more information and apply to participate in the Vision to Venture programme through the C-DICE website.
