PraxisAuril, in partnership with the ESRC, is building a new Community of Practice (CoP) dedicated to social venture building and commercialisation of Arts, Humanities and Social Science research.
PraxisAuril is building on existing work from our Special Interest Group, our dedicated conference sessions and many fruitful forum conversations we have facilitated to develop a new dedicated Community of Practice for Social Venture building and self-sustaining Commercialisation of Arts, Humanities and Social Science research.
This new CoP will go beyond the vital mapping of different players in this growing field within the sector. With support from ESRC we will be creating a series of practical challenges and focussed networking events that aim to tackle directly the cultural and institutional barriers that affect AHSS researchers when trying to carry out non-profit work, start commissioned partnerships with the third and public sector, as well as building fully independent spin-out social ventures and commercial vehicles.
From this, we will coproduce professional training, practice or other interventions as required to create the right conventions within the workforce providing this support.
