CRoSS Roadshow: CRoSS at CRASSH
Learn more about the Cambridge Commercialisation of Research out of Social Sciences (CRoSS) programme
The CRoSS (Commercialisation of Research out of Social Sciences) programme explores how commercialisation (e.g. licensing innovative ideas and tools, creating social ventures, or doing consultancies) can promote and scale the impact of social science research for wider societal benefit.
At this event, the University’s Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) and Cambridge Enterprise teams will share the objectives and activities of the CRoSS programme.
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 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.
Who is this event for?
University of Cambridge principal investigators, postdoctoral and doctoral researchers, and others interested in the commercialisation pathways for the Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences.
Please note this event is open to members of the University of Cambridge only.
