We capacity build local partners – universities, PhDs, local NGOs and entrepreneurs – to deliver sustainable university access solutions in their communities, globally.
We have a 4-step approach to building a global network of university access programmes through an incubator model with local partners.
AccessEd reaches PhDs via our researcher development training with UK universities, and alumni from our global programmes. We grow a thriving community for researchers to share opportunities, knowledge exchange, and to apply for AccessEd’s Incubator.
AccessEd's Incubator programme invites education entrepreneurs to build an access initiative in their country – either through an existing organisation or one they will set up. Our application process formally selects and on boards them to the Incubator: site visits, partner development workshops and more.
AccessEd connects education entrepreneurs and the university community. AccessEd facilitates a collaboration and provides formal backing to the newly established partnership. This prepares the partnership for delivery of a university access initiative.
AccessEd supports the education entrepreneur through the Incubator. We assist with new or existing organisation development; support fundraising applications and income strategy. AccessEd provides pre-existing programme blueprints for adaptation in local education systems.
We believe that communities have a powerful role to play in university access. Universities, researchers, entrepreneurial individuals and organisations have the local system expertise, connections between people and motivation to reach solutions. Evidence calls for greater collaboration to find the appropriate access solutions that best meet the needs of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Universities globally play a key role in producing the economic opportunities, and the intellectual and human capital, needed to solve the challenges of sustainable development and the societal problems of tomorrow.
University can be transformative for individual and societal life outcomes, improving employment prospects, earning power, health, well-being and civic engagement. A university education prepares young people to participate in a global economy and global society.
