Learn about innovation in the social sciences and its role in supporting socially beneficial outcomes. [22 April 2026]
Date: Wednesday 29 April 2026, 10:00-11:30
Venue: Advanced Research Centre, Room 237B
Join the Global Health and Environment, and Peaceful Secure and Empowered Societies themes to explore what “innovation” means for social sciences.
Join us for an introductory, hands-on session designed for social science researchers who are curious about innovation. This workshop will look at what innovation means in a social science context, and how it can support socially beneficial outcomes.
Research funding can help test whether an intervention or activity works to improve wellbeing, increase people's access to support, or reduce inequalities; but it's innovation that can help make sure these activities are able to continue once the funded project has finished. Through real-world case studies, practical guidance, and interactive activities, participants will learn how to navigate opportunities and access support. This session will be separated into two parts - you can attend both, or just the part that best meets your current situation.
