Academia
Academia runs on ideas, rigour, and trust — but the tools being used by so many institutions to accept applications are often old, clunky and rigid in extremis. Dapple is built to support the more creative scholarly communities with a submission and review process that's structured, secure, and flexible to suit lots of different requirements. Whether you're managing research proposals, fellowships, conference submissions, or academic programs, Dapple makes it easy to collect applications, collaborate across committees, and move decisions forward without losing context or credibility. Less admin theatre, more time for thinking, reviewing, and advancing knowledge.
