Applications now open for All-Innovate Competition Trinity 2021
Green Templeton College is once again participating in the University of Oxford’s All-Innovate Competition, run by the Oxford Foundry.
Applications for the Trinity 2021 round are now open.
As a partnering college, students from any department are invited to pitch an entrepreneurial idea or venture for a chance to win from the £20,000 prize funding pot, and receive support to help turn your idea into a reality, or build up your existing venture.
There are also a series of workshops available with expert mentors to help build new skills to enhance your career.
All-Innovate aims to encourage all students, regardless of discipline, to develop an entrepreneurial skill set and generate entrepreneurial ideas. Inclusivity and diversity are at the forefront of its ethos.
We look forward to hearing your great ideas!
How do I enter?
Contact naomi.benson@gtc.ox.ac.uk for the application form.
You will need to complete the application form and record a short two-minute video about your pitch in the first round.
This year, all applicants are offered the opportunity to attend virtual idea development workshops.
The deadline for Trinity applications is Sunday 6 June 2021.
What are the prizes?
This year, there are two competition rounds across Hilary and Trinity, so double the chance of winning!
Details about who won the Hilary term All-Innovate prizes can be found here.
In Trinity, there will be a top prize of £10,000 for the best idea and then two further prizes of £5,000 each for the best undergraduate and best graduate ideas.
How the competition works
Judges will shortlist their top two applications from each college. Feedback will be given to all entrants.

- Sunday 6 June: Application deadline.
- Thursday 10 to Friday 11 June: Ideas bootcamp for all applicants.
- Monday 14 June: Selection bootcamp, final ten teams announced
- Thursday 1 July: Trinity final and winners announced
Your entry will be judged on the idea itself as opposed to how developed the idea is.
What are the judging criteria?
- What is the problem that your idea is helping to solve?
- How well does your idea address the problem?
- Strength of team
- Potential viability of the idea
- Quality of application
How do I attend a workshop?
All-Innovate is accompanied by Idea Exploration, Design Thinking and Creativity workshops with experienced mentors, to help build new skills and enhance careers.
These are optional workshops that also offer early stage idea support. Details of these workshops can be found on the Oxford Foundry website.

A wonderful evening for the Green Templeton community in Sydney. It is always special to see alumni reconnecting and making new connections wherever they are in the world.
Thank you to Oceania Group and everyone who joined the group’s inaugural annual dinner.
The group’s next gathering takes place in Brisbane on Tuesday 8 September – another welcome opportunity for our alumni and friends in the region to connect.
A great start to what we hope will become a growing tradition for the college`s community across Oceania.

Alumni in Switzerland came together in Geneva on Swiss National Day for the first in-person gathering of our college`s Switzerland Alumni Group.
After the group’s inaugural online meeting earlier in the year, the gathering was a chance to finally put faces to names, reconnect over memories of Green Templeton and Oxford and hear where life has taken everyone since.
Conversation ranged from career paths and professional exchanges to life in Switzerland and ideas for the growing alumni group.
Josephine Agyeman-Duah (DPhil Women’s and Reproductive Health, 2018), Chair of the Alumni Group, said:
‘It was splendid to reconnect with GTC alumni from different periods and to celebrate Swiss National Day together in Geneva. Our first in-person gathering was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen connections and our GTC alumni community in Switzerland.’
The group is now looking to establish a committee and hopes to connect with other Oxford and Cambridge alumni groups in Switzerland.

Happy International Cat Day! 🐾
It’s been quite the year for Vincent!
After several years of making the college his home, we are delighted to say that we have officially adopted him. A familiar and much-loved face around the college grounds, he has a special way of bringing smiles to everyone he meets.
We’re so proud to officially call him ours!
Happy International Cat Day, Vincent! 💚🐈⬛
✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
