Are you building a startup in climate tech? This offer is designed to support student teams and startups tackling the world’s most pressing climate challenges.
What is Earthbound for Students?
Earthbound for Students is a modular based programme. You don’t have to complete a programme from A to Z, you can choose the modules when it suits your startup progress. Some of the modules will be mandatory – which is also a great opportunity for you to meet the other teams in the programme.
The offering runs in two types of themed modules “Climate In Focus” (mandatory modules) and “Impact by design”.
Climate In Focus
This module is mandatory and shifts between group facilitation and external speakers on specific topics eg. climate + funding, leadership, biodiversity, art, dual use.
Impact By Design
This module is by sign-up and consists of a sequence of workshops, tools and customised support that build on each other.
Modules run every Thursday.
