How do you start a national SHAPE community from scratch? Which activities should come first, and who needs to be involved? In this interactive SHAPE Spotlight, Aoife Tierney (Trinity College Dublin) will share the early activities and future plans of the new SHAPE Community of Practice set up by the Irish Knowledge Transfer Association (IKTA). The community aims to bring together knowledge transfer professionals supporting the social sciences, humanities and arts, share good practice, and build national capacity for SHAPE impact and commercialisation. You’ll hear what’s happening in Ireland, what has worked so far, and where the challenges are. Then it’s your turn: bring your own experience of building SHAPE networks and help this new community take shape.

This webinar is organised by the SHAPE SIG. Join the SHAPE SIG to stay tuned.
