Fall Quarter 2026: Ecopreneurial Research for Accelerating Market Pathfinding (EcoRAMP)
The Ecopreneurial Research for Accelerating Market Pathfinding (EcoRAMP) program offers an experiential learning opportunity for Stanford undergraduates to work with a research team on an active Sustainability Accelerator project. Throughout the engagement, the student will learn about both the development of sustainable solutions and the approaches for their externalization for real-world impact. At the end of the quarter, the student will deliver a short presentation highlighting their key learnings. This program is funded by Stanford Ecopreneurship and the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator.
Term: The student will work up to 10 hours per week for a minimum of one quarter. There is a possibility of extension to subsequent quarters based on project needs, approval from project lead, and funding availability.
Payment: The student will be paid $21.25/hr for up to 100 total hours (hard cap), which is expected to roughly equate to 10 hours per week for 10 weeks.
