Social Enterprise and Social Science: An introduction to collaboration
Queen's University Belfast
This is a free event
Are you involved in a social enterprise, and interested in collaborating with researchers? Join this online event for an introduction to collaborative opportunities with social scientists at Queen's and Ulster.
What can social science offer to the social enterprise sector? And what research opportunities are possible with social enterprises?
This informal panel discussion and Q&A will cover:
- An introduction to the social enterprise sector in Northern Ireland
- Experiences and tips from social science academics who have previously collaborated with social enterprises
- Experiences and tips from social entrepreneurs who have utilised social science research
- A chance to ask questions, join the discussion, and make new connections
All are welcome, but the event should be particularly relevant to social scientists at early stages of their career (including PhD students), and people involved in the social enterprise sector who may interested in collaborating with researchers.
This event is funded through the ESRC Accelerating Business Collaboration programme at Queen's.

Making NI a Living Wage Region
Advice NIConferenceTraining/AdviceNorthern Ireland has the highest proportion of jobs paid below the real Living Wage in the UK, with some council areas seeing rates as high as one in four. Women are disproportionately affected, with 24.5% earning below the Real Living Wage compared to 16.3% of men. Part-time workers face an even greater disparity - at 38%, they are nearly three times more likely to be paid below the Real Living Wage than full-time workers, where only 13.5% fall below this threshold.- - -
