Internationalisation
Forging strategic research partnerships around the globe to foster learning
A key objective of LSSI is to develop international research links and build collaborative partnerships with a view to enhancing research impact and share best practice on effect support for interdisciplinary social science research. As a dynamic, outward-facing institute, LSSI’s internationalisation agenda includes directly forging our own international partnerships, as well as supporting social scientists at Leeds with international impact through the Impact Acceleration Account (IAA).
Our strategic LSSI international partnerships focus on similar interdisciplinary social science organisations where bilateral collaborations and exchanges might prove mutually valuable.
We have established partnerships with the Institute for Social Science Research at the University of Queensland (ISSR), and the Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani in the Faculty of Social Sciences (IGG) at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). Like the LSSI, the ISSR and IIGG both work towards promoting transformational, interdisciplinary, and solution-based research that tackles societal challenges and with a focus on co-production and co-design.
