What can economics offer the third sector?
Time: 12th March, 11am-1pm. Sandwiches from 12.30
Venue: New Philanthropy Capital, 1 London Bridge, SE1 9BG.
With The University of Bristol, NPC is organising a lunchtime workshop to explore new opportunities for academics and not-for-profit practitioners to work together.
New funding from the Office of the Third Sector and the Economic and Social Research Council is available to allow not-for-profits to access relevant expertise within the academic community. The aim is to help organisations assess the impact and value of what they do and to use analysis and data to improve service delivery.
The workshop will provide an opportunity for you to learn more about the funding opportunities and for us to learn more about what you would like the projects to deliver.
If you are interested in coming, or know someone who would be, please contact Amanda Edmondson from the University of Bristol to register.
