ARC helps you transform your research and ideas into ventures that can help transform society and the economy. Our accelerator programme will support you with training, mentors and market validation to build the venture you need to deliver your ideas and research.
The ARC Accelerator, formerly called the SUCCESS Programme, is a first-of-its-kind opportunity specifically designed to help SHAPE (Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts) academics and researchers to develop ideas based on their research into businesses or ventures to help people, society and the economy.
The 7-month programme is open to SHAPE researchers (students and alumni are not eligible) from institutions that are part of the Aspect network.
Aspect (A SHAPE Platform for Entrepreneurship, Commercialisation and Transformation) is a network for organisations looking to make the most of commercial and business opportunities from Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts (SHAPE) research.
While the commercialisation pipeline for STEM research is well established, the benefits and profile of research commercialisation within SHAPE are less well known. Aspect seeks to redress this balance by connecting universities, businesses, academics and industry leaders to turn ideas into commercial solutions and solve pressing social challenges.
