Why Acume

Make academic research more accessible to help inform and innovate international affairs and development
Network With Academics
Meet, interview and learn from inspiring academics from across the world
Learn New Skills
A two-month opportunity to help you learn new skills, such as effective networking and interviewing
How it works
As a student volunteer, you will commit eight hours a month for a minimum of two months, and for as long as you are active.
Student volunteers research, conduct interviews with academics, craft impact summaries, or create social media.
Pick and Choose Tasks
We share the tasks that need doing - including research, conducting academic interviews and social media. You are free to pick and do the ones that interest you most.
Commit 8-Hours a Month
Every task has a standardised time value. You need to pick tasks so your monthly task times equal eight hours or more. This lets you choose the tasks you want and when to do them.
Receive Ongoing Support
You will be assigned a Project Lead who will train and mentor you along your journey. Every Thursday, we host a virtual team social to play games and get to know one another better.
