‘tis the season and I’m looking forward to welcoming 50 philosophers in my home tomorrow. And yes, I have reusable, real glass and china for all of them. After 3 years, only ever found 1 broken plate!

The training focuses on inclusive, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral innovation and collaboration. It is relevant whether you are aiming for a career in research/academia, or considering leveraging your SSHA-powered talent to move change in the public, private or social sectors.
