Primarily TTOs and KE staff across the region who are working on AHSS commercialisation and social venture building.
As this is a celebration of the cultural change we are coproducing and a chance for important networking, we are also inviting any staff in your institution with an interest in this topic (Senior leaders, Impact Officers, Academics etc.)
Also outside organisations who will be key contacts in scaling up this work. This includes; social enterprise leaders, local authority staff, funders and practical programme managers working across environment, social justice, health, city planning, and any topic relevant to these disciplines.
What is the AHSS/Social Ventures CoP?
We have built a completely free and open, sector-wide peer to peer network of TTOs and KE staff working on Arts, Humanities and Social Science commercialisation and social venture building. Our aim is to connect professionals to share best practice, formalise training and development, and link to platforms and outside organisations that will be key in creating the cultural change needed for long-term effective commercialisation of these disciplines and impact-led ventures.
