What it is

A chance to hear from the team behind The Oxford Moonshot before you apply. The Oxford Moonshot is the University's pre-seed accelerator for DPhil students and early-career researchers building deeptech ventures, and it's free with no equity taken.

The session covers what the four-month programme involves, this year's two verticals (Health & Life Sciences and National Resilience), the application criteria, and what the panel looks for. Bring your questions.
