The 2024 Innovation Seed Fund (ISF), an integral part of the Oxford Africa Conference, invites submissions from current students at the University of Oxford and students across the African continent.

The University of Oxford Africa Society, in collaboration with the University of Oxford Vice-Chancellor’s Office, Oxford Science Enterprises, and Oxford University Innovation, is offering three grants of £5,000 each to fund research, entrepreneurial, or development projects that address challenging issues in Africa with innovative and scalable solutions.

Winners will also be offered technical support and mentorship through the Oxford University Innovation Incubator for 6 months post-award reception, and be introduced to the wider innovation and entrepreneurship community at the University of Oxford.

Shortlisted candidates and team leads will pitch their ideas at the 2024 Oxford Africa Conference, taking place on 24-25 May 2024 in Oxford.

Applications will close on 13 March 2024. Find out more and apply now.
