The University of Leeds LSSI received funding from the ESRC Commercialising Research out of Social Sciences (CRoSS) scheme, to deliver activities relating to CRoSS. Leeds LSSI commissioned us to deliver a three session training programme, and to develop a resource & guidance document for academics going through the process of commercialising social science research.
The programme was delivered in five work packages:
The in-person programme ran over three days (9 hours total contact time) where 10 participants received a 15-page guidance document. The workshops raised Social Sciences commercialisation awareness and helped engage academics, potentially leading to new disclosures and income stream opportunities from research outcomes.
