The Future of Social Science Commercialisation

Social science is often connected with business and industry through policies or people. In the future there is potential for a full integration of social science commercialisation in society, with SHAPE and STEM working side-by-side and also in their own rights.
Chaired by Professor Jude Robinson (Professor in Health and Wellbeing at the Institute of Health and Wellbeing Social Sciences and Deputy Head of the College of Social Sciences, University of Glasgow), and with thoughts from Dr Hamish McAlpine (Head of KE Data and Evidence UKRI), Rosalind Lowe (Head of Policy and Engagement NCUB), and Dr Mark Mann (Social Venture Lead & Innovation Lead for Humanities & Social Sciences, University of Oxford), this panel discussion considers how social science can be fully intertwined into society, and what is being done or needs doing in order for social science not to be viewed as something different but as something integral by all.
