WHAT WE OFFER




Each project will receive up to 100,000 NIS for its activities and will not be charged any fees or a percentage from future project earnings. The funds are to be used to purchase equipment, services, travel to conferences and meetings, marketing expenses and site construction, according to an approved budget and work plan. The funds are not to be used to cover payroll expenses.
The Accelerator is located in Porter Building, home to the School of Environmental Studies. Each project will receive a portion of a work space. The work will be primarily independent, specific to the project plan with a weekly shared day lead by the program administrator. Each group will present its progress, problems and current needs, and benefits from an enrichment lecture.
