Survey: How can we drive innovation
We are excited to announce the launch of a survey asking academics to reflect on how their role is changing.
With universities increasingly encouraged to drive innovation (whether in the public or private sector) and growth (whether social or economic); do we have the right reward, recognition and promotion practices in place?
If you are a member of a university faculty please do provide your views and encourage your colleagues to do so! We are particularly keen to hear the views of Arts, Humanities and Social Science faculty members.
The survey is part of the Aspect-funded APPLE project and focuses on how innovation and entrepreneurship is included as part of academic work and career pathways.
Announcing The Social Venture Pathway
The Social Venture Pathway offers a toolkit of resources to guide you through the process of creating a social venture. This self-guided pathway aims to fill the gaps missing from traditional innovation processes by providing a clear and comprehensive training resource for starting your first social venture.

Should we spend more time talking about methods?
This blog by the Methods for Change team, illustrated by Jack Brougham, asks if we should spend more time talking about the methods we use as researchers. Drawing on a recent paper, we suggest that researchers need to articulate why methods matter in creating change to global challenges. We share three creative techniques that we have experimented with across the Methods for Change project that can encourage playful, reflective conversation about methods and their role in galvanising change.
