Our story
“Students don’t lack potential. Often, they lack the right guidance and a clear starting point.”
ARCO was started by students who faced this themselves: plenty of information, but no clear direction. We built the place we wished we had.

Questions
Good to know
Is ARCO free?
Making an account and requesting a mentor are free. Most lectures are free too. Some workshops have a small fee to cover the venue and materials.
Who can join?
Any student who wants to learn research, whatever year you are in and whether or not you have done research before.
How do I pay for a paid event?
After you apply, send the fee by JazzCash or bank transfer and upload a screenshot of the receipt. Our team checks it and confirms your seat.
What if I can't attend after applying?
Cancel from your dashboard so someone else gets the seat. Missing a free event without cancelling gives a warning, and two warnings pause your applications for 30 days.
