Humanities Explore workshops by the Humanities Venture Lab
09/04/2026 - 21/04/2026
Do you ever think about making societal impact by developing your own venture, starting your own project, or working as a freelancer? Explore what kind of impact you want to make, how to communicate this effectively, and for whom. Whatever your entrepreneurial idea, Humanities Explore is here to help!
Is this programme a fit for you?
- You have a concept or research but are unsure if entrepreneurship is the right path for you.
- You are open to discovering what entrepreneurship is all about, regardless of your prior experience.
- You want to test the potential of your idea or research in a low-pressure, supportive environment.
Do you have a clear idea or research outcomes that you’re eager to develop and test? In that case our Create programme might be a better fit!
