SOCIAT Training Programme

What is it about?

The Social Impact Assessment Training (SOCIAT) program, is a dynamic initiative designed to empower professionals involved in nature protection and restoration projects. This training equips participants with the essential skills to assess the social outcomes of conservation efforts, enhance governance structures, and bolster public support for environmental initiatives. It's also tailored for individuals responsible for subcontracting social impact assessments, ensuring comprehensive understanding and application. The Training Programme has now been licensed to EcoTransform Ltd as part of the wider commercialisation and real-world application of social science research.

This transition has been supported by funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)and the European Research Council (ERC), helping to translate research, methods and expertise into practical training that can be used by conservation professionals and organisations.
