Summary

This EEUK Enterprise Exchange online event, delivered in partnership with three members of the ASPECT network shared best practice at the frontier of Social Science enterprise, innovation and commercialisation.

Speakers shared experiences gained from delivering workshops on social science commercialisation and from ARC, the first accelerator programme dedicated entirely to social science researchers, which has already successfully accelerated 15 institutional teams.

The event focused on lessons learnt and insights, as well as on what is planned for developing the ASPECT network and continuing the ARC accelerator programme. Delivery style was varied, with plenty of opportunity for active participation and discussion.
