WISE Accelerator programme opens for submissions

The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), an initiative of Qatar Foundation (QF), has opened the submission period for its latest Accelerator programme.

WISE Accelerator supports the development of innovative education initiatives that show high potential for scalability and positive impact.

Each year, members of selected initiatives are chosen to join the one-year programme, offering tailor-made support to address challenges that hinder their growth and scaling-up process.

In addition, WISE Accelerator connects participants to an international network of education stakeholders, creating opportunities to share knowledge and gain the support of potential partners, donors, and investors during international events organised by WISE.

Participants will also be matched with mentors who are experts in education, education technology, and leaders in their field.

The submission period for WISE Accelerator 2018-2019 will close at 12pm GMT on April 24.

A committee comprised of leading experts in education and social entrepreneurship will support the WISE Accelerator team during the selection process, and selected initiatives will be announced in July.

The programme will commence at the WISE Forum to be held in New York in September.
