Considering The Societal Impact of Social Sciences & Humanities Research:

From Institutional Discourses To Prevailing Practices

Set up as GEM-DIAMOND‘s second Citizen Innovation Lab (CIL), this intersectoral event sets involves a number of roundtables bringing together academics, researchers, practitioners, research managers, and civil society organizations in a collegial effort to discuss the societal impact of the Social Sciences and Humanities. Besides two keynotes and a skills training session dedicated to journal publications, the event will involve a series of roundtables where we hope to share with the Ph.D. students the experience of (RT1) project managers, (RT2) academics at the forefront of these issues, and (RT3) civil society actors. Organized on invitation only, presentations and exchanges throughout the three days will be informal and respectful of the Chatham House Principle.
