Early-stage start-ups represent fertile testing ground for applications of, and contributions to, social science research.

This session will focus on the ways in which social science research skills are relevant and valuable to start-ups – with reflections from social scientists playing prominent roles in start-ups, and discussion about the transition from academia to industry, with particular focus on guidance for early career researchers.
