Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts for People and Economy (SHAPE)

The SHAPE SIG focuses on valorising research in social sciences, humanities, and arts (SHAPE). Since 2015, the SIG has shared best practices and explored impact pathways, hosting the monthly SHAPE Spotlight webinar to showcase innovative case studies and tools.

As many more universities and research institutions explore the possibilities of knowledge transfer and valorisation within the social sciences, humanities, and arts, this expert group keeps abreast of the latest knowledge and best practice.

Since 2015, this group has been at the vanguard of researching, developing, and recording best practice in the field, and has explored a wide range of valorisation pathways aimed at sustaining and scaling the impact of SHAPE research. Their knowledge and experience are unsurpassed in Europe.

The SHAPE SIG hosts a 30-minute webinar, the SHAPE Spotlight, on the first Wednesday of every month at 13:00 CET/CEST. The SHAPE Spotlight offers a platform for sharing know-how, innovative case studies, and practical tools from impact experts and SHAPE practitioners across the ASTP membership and beyond.

All ASTP members are invited to join.
