Description
The Accelerator Workshop Program at the Radcliffe Institute (Harvard University) funds focused, invitation-only workshops designed to help scholars, practitioners, and artists accelerate research projects that are already significantly developed and moving toward concrete deliverables. These workshops foster interdisciplinary dialogue and are intended to propel projects toward outcomes such as publications, grant applications, course curricula, exhibitions, performances, or policy recommendations. Workshops are held in person at the Radcliffe Institute in Cambridge, MA, and are coordinated by Radcliffe staff to maximize collaborative engagement and intellectual risk-taking.
