About Launchpad

The best summer schools, fellowships, research internships, and hackathons are scattered across hundreds of sites, mailing lists, and PDFs. Deadlines get missed not because people aren't ambitious, but because nothing pulls these together in one place with the dates and funding up front. Launchpad is that place.

Who it's for

Ambitious students and early-career people — especially in AI/ML, physics, math, and adjacent technical fields — who want to find high-quality, time-bound opportunities without opening thirty tabs every few weeks.

How it's different

• Curated, not crawled. A trust bar means low-quality listings never make the cut. Only reviewed opportunities are shown publicly.
• Deadline-native.Everything is organized around when things close, so you see what's urgent before it's too late.
• Funding up front. Filter to fully-funded, stipended, or free in one tap.
• Honest about sources. Every listing links to the official page — we summarize in our own words and ask you to verify before applying.

The radar

Tune your radar with your interests, where you can go, and your funding preference, and Launchpad ranks opportunities by how well they fit — no account required. Read more about how we gather and review data, or start exploring.
