SeNSS focusses on three things in particular:
• Our rigorous doctoral training programme, making the most of our members’ diverse specialisms and offering our students a wide array of subject-specific as well as advanced training opportunities. SeNSS offers high-calibre supervision, driven by our members’ emphasis on formal training and research culture.
• Supporting our researchers in producing their cutting edge exploration of the most challenging social science issues of our day. In particular, we do this through promoting interdisciplinary research networks, a focus on key social challenges and the role of social science in addressing these, and an emphasis on research impact, and engaging with senior research users and practitioners.
• Sponsoring more and better ways for researcher user and practitioners to harness social science research. In particular, we organise formal PhD student placements with external organisations, host collaborative research involving external partners, and convene a forum for senior research users and practitioners to support new innovations in research collaboration.
