Social Venture Building Community of Practice

PraxisAuril, in partnership with the ESRC, is building a new Community of Practice (CoP) dedicated to social venture building and commercialisation of Arts, Humanities and Social Science research.

PraxisAuril is building on existing work from our Special Interest Group, our dedicated conference sessions and many fruitful forum conversations we have facilitated to develop a new dedicated Community of Practice for Social Venture building and self-sustaining Commercialisation of Arts, Humanities and Social Science research.

This new CoP will go beyond the vital mapping of different players in this growing field within the sector. With support from ESRC we will be creating a series of practical challenges and focussed networking events that aim to tackle directly the cultural and institutional barriers that affect AHSS researchers when trying to carry out non-profit work, start commissioned partnerships with the third and public sector, as well as building fully independent spin-out social ventures and commercial vehicles.

From this, we will coproduce professional training, practice or other interventions as required to create the right conventions within the workforce providing this support.

In the first webinar of the series, we will build on the CoP aims of developing granular best practice exchanges and leadership in key themes. Our main theme for this session is engagement on a sector level, moving on to case studies and discussion prompts such as engaging with policy moves supporting Social Impact in KE, representing the topic at conferences/sector platforms, and designing events to connect with peers.
