Vice Chancellor’s Visit to the E-Lab
We are hosting the Vice Chancellor (Deborah Prentice) at the E-Lab, to hear about some of our E-Lab activities (and future plans) including:
✅ Our Residential Programmes, a year-long extracurricular residential programme that aims to take innovative ideas forward within the context of social, corporate of associative ventures. We heard from our E-Lab residential students Chris, Emma, Kehinde, Gilbert, Tom, Jacob about their experience.
✅ Weekly Speaker Series, which covers talks, fireside chats, and panel discussions, that offer insights, lessons learned, best practices, and cutting-edge knowledge from leaders in academia, industry, art, politics and international organisations, run by Sophie:
✅ Weekly Workshops with Brunches, a series of practical workshops that happen on a regular basis in a consistent format for people that want to build and grow their project over the academic year, run by Zarja and Siiri.
✅ Our African Founders Webinar Series hosted by Uche bringing together key figures from the entrepreneurial sector, with a specific focus on fostering innovation that can drive economic growth and social impact across Africa.

✅ Our Research Associate Scheme, with the brilliant Coco, Ismail, Nadia, Charles, Chris, James!
✅ Networking and Socials (including our co-working space, the Turing Room), providing a unique opportunity to make new friends amongst E-Lab members and entrepreneurially minded peers.
✅ Mindsets, our weekly blog series featuring short posts that showcase interesting people, research, and innovation associated with the E-lab, edited by Sophie.
✅ Scholarships and Funding
✅ Mentorship Schemes
✅ … and much more!
At the E-Lab our objectives are to encourage entrepreneurial thinking, to build venture acumen, to nurture a social ethic, and to create a space for students, researchers and other stakeholders to explore innovation for positive social and environmental change! In four years, the E-Lab has developed a core set of activities to support these objectives, structured under three pillars: Education; Research and Community. These activities, displayed in our impact report, demonstrate the delivery of strong outcomes and the possibilities of a sustainable set of programming to the benefit of King's, the Cambridge community, and the wider world.
