The Southampton Festival
The Southampton branch of the wider ESRC festival was born in 2019, and is organised by the Impact Funding Team, part of the University’s Research and Innovation Services.
The team manage the University’s UKRI Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAAS), working with colleagues across the University to support research and commercialisation strategies in order to maximise and promote the impact of the University’s research.
Through the University of Southampton’s Festival of Social Science, we aim further ESRC’s mission and showcase the importance of social science research to today’s society. We liaise with researchers here at the University and provide them with a platform to facilitate dialogue with new audiences.
