Join us for the first Social Sciences Innovation Café.
This informal session is an opportunity to connect with peers, share experiences, and gain practical insight into what innovation in the Social Sciences can look like — and how it could work for you.
Alongside good conversation, coffee and pastries, you’ll have space to ask questions and explore ideas in a supportive, no-pressure environment.
Designed for academics and professional services colleagues, this Innovation Café will help you:
explore what innovation means in different disciplinary and professional contexts
identify pathways to scale research impact
understand routes to funding diversification
consider how innovation activity can support career development
learn about the support services available to you
You’ll hear short, accessible talks from current innovators across departments based at and near Manor Road Campus, as well as Social Sciences-focused case studies and practical tips on getting started and finding relevant funding opportunities.
Whether you are already innovating or simply curious, this session is intended to spark ideas, build connections and open up new possibilities.
All researchers and professional services staff in the Social Sciences are welcome, content tailored for departments based or near to Manor Road (Economics, Law, DPIR, SSEE)
