Register your interest now for the Engaging with Entrepreneurship programme. Using our handy app, you can find a wealth of innovation and entrepreneurship activities in #Oxford to get stuck into, whether you're interested in developing employability skills or starting a business. There will be badges, certificates, and of course, prizes (including everyone's favourite item, the hoodie!)

We will also be looking at how inclusive these activities and opportunities are, and how we can better support under-represented groups in this area.

Open to all current students, staff and researchers at the University of Oxford - and launching in September 2021, register your interest now:

Join us for the launch of IDEA, a University of Oxford initiative addressing inequalities in entrepreneurship.

IDEA (Increasing Diversity in Enterprising Activities) is a set of interventions and actions aimed at addressing inequalities in entrepreneurship.

The first programme is aimed at supporting women in the University of Oxford (students, staff/researchers and alumni), but also women in the Oxfordshire community.

Join us for our first event where we will have an open conversation about the role of diversity in entrepreneurship, and how IDEA is going to help progress the agenda. There will also be time for you to meet others.

Open to anyone connected to Oxfordshire who thinks diversity in entrepreneurship is important!

For more information about the initiative, the event, or to register your interest in joining the community: www.eship.ox.ac.uk/idea-women

The #StartedinOxford #DemoDay is a celebration and showcase of the Oxford-linked entrepreneurship community, and will be held online on Wednesday 18 November 2020. This event will bring together some of the startups, spinouts and social enterprises, and key support organisations, linked to the University of Oxford or Oxford Brookes University (students, staff or alumni), or based in Oxfordshire.

In previous years, we have come together in Oxford, with 20-30 startups and over 300 registered attendees mingling and chatting over the course of an evening. This year we will be virtual – there will be even more hand-picked companies to meet and engage with in a fresher’s fair style virtual setup. The fair will be open for almost 24 hours, with specific sessions, panel discussions, and opportunities to hear the startups pitch live throughout the UK work day.

We are asking all attendees to think about how they could support the ventures - even an introduction could be very useful for the right venture. We hope this event will provide many opportunities to create connections across the Oxford ecosystem, and across the globe.

Join the fun: eship.ox.ac.uk/demo
