Bringing together an innovation community in the social sciences.

Find out more about Cambridge’s ESRC-funded Commercialisation of Research out of Social Sciences (CRoSS) programme, and hear from researchers from the arts, humanities and social sciences engaged in innovation and enterprise projects.

The CRoSS (Commercialisation of Research out of Social Sciences) programme explores how commercialisation (e.g. developing and licensing innovative ideas and tools, creating social enterprises and spinouts, or carrying out academic consultancy) can promote and scale the impact of social science research for wider societal benefit.

At this event, the University’s Impact facilitation teams and Cambridge Enterprise will share some of the work of the CRoSS programme to date and talk about opportunities to engage in research commercialisation.

Join us to hear more about how Social Science researchers have utilised commercialisation opportunities to maximise the societal impact of their projects. Tell us more about your own projects and network with others interested in this area.

CRoSS Roadshows are part of a series of events representing Cambridge’s response to the UKRI Economic and Social Research Council‘s new CRoSS programme.
