Description:
NRC is providing financial support to help facilitate an international conference on assessing and stimulating the impact of social sciences and humanities (SSH) through interdisciplinary and inclusive approaches. The mission of AESIS is to connect Science with Society. In order to generate a profound impact of SSH on society, AESIS believes collaborations with parties from business, government and not-for-profits, and engaging with the broader public are all vital aspects in this process.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
• map and assess the impact of SSH; what does impact mean in the context of different segments of society, and through which indicators can you measure it?
• identify different opportunities of collaborations with societal stakeholders, and discuss how co-creations of knowledge with other scientific disciplines may play a role in stimulating impact.
• engage in interactive discussions on which skills can enable one to optimise impact for the sake of the public as a whole and close with some targeted recommendations for the Canadian science policy system and beyond drawn from the conclusions of the meeting.
