International Social Innovation Research Conference 2024

Description

In this panel, we seek to build upon previous streams centred on this topic held at ISIRC, to explore the role that universities can play in driving the development and sustainability of social innovation ecosystems in their locality, and how this can then drive social innovation globally through research, education, knowledge exchange, international partnerships and policy development. Building on this, we wish to explore the role that international partnerships, global ranking and impact frameworks, as well as adherence to the Sustainable Development Goals can have on social innovation in higher education. Therefore, the themes to be explored include:
• Universities as leaders of social innovation;
• Research, teaching and community engagement;
• Universities as anchor institutions;
• Resource acquisition and provision;
• Incubation and acceleration facilities;
• Network creation and partnerships locally and globally;
• Policy advocacy and innovation;
• Global ranking and impact frameworks;
• The UN SDGs.
