Title: "Co-creating better futures through social science commercialisation"
Abstract: In this presentation, Prof Munoz will show how social scientists can scale up the impact of their research through commercialisation. He will focus on the work conducted at Durham University’s new Social Science Enterprise Lab, where they have developed methods and facilitation intelligence capable of leveraging the generative power of social science research and the motivation behind social enterprising. Combined, they give the research efforts of social scientists the necessary intentionality and direction to produce scalable research impact, as it is embedded into the research process itself and the daily practices of social scientists. Today, the Lab is supporting five social science research project teams, from sociology, education, psychology, social work, and management, who are working collaboratively with entrepreneurs-in-residence in the development of publishable and actionable research.
