Scientifica Venture Capital awards grants to the best Stem student theses

A new era in education investment begins with the launch of Thesis by Scientifica Venture Capital. This cutting-edge initiative is designed to promote and support students in STEM disciplines, those who will become the next generation of brilliant minds in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

As part of the Thesis project, Scientifica Venture Capital will select outstanding theses papers distinguished by their scientific depth and provide the authors of the selected “Thesis” with a grant, along with access to a mentorship program on entrepreneurship and the world of startups. The goal of awarding this financial grant is to encourage and support young university talents who significantly contribute to scientific progress through their studies and research.

In this way, Scientifica Venture Capital aims to emphasize the importance of investing in knowledge, recognizing its fundamental role in social and economic development.

Financing knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself allows us to push beyond the current limits of understanding. Research and the acquisition of knowledge, without necessarily having a specific goal or application, enable us to better explore and understand the world around us. This can lead to new discoveries, revolutionary theories and innovative paradigms that would not have been possible if we had focused solely on practical applications or immediate results.

This mindset allows students and researchers to investigate topics they are passionate about without being limited by applicability or immediate results. This fosters creativity and encourages the formation of new questions, promoting an open and progress-oriented mental approach.

The grants offered will be awarded through a selection process that will be open three times a year. Selected students, in addition to receiving the grant, will have access to the facilities of the Scientifica Lab Approved network for any needs related to their thesis work.

“We are excited to launch ‘Thesis’ and offer concrete support to STEM students” said Riccardo D’Alessandri. “We believe that tomorrow’s scientists and innovators are among today’s young talents. With this program, we want to encourage their growth and develop the skills necessary to tackle the scientific and technological challenges of the future.”

Students interested in participating in Thesis can find more information and application instructions on Scientifica Venture Capital website. The first deadline for submitting applications is November 15, 2023. We encourage all motivated and ambitious STEM students to seize this unique opportunity to advance their academic careers.
