SeNSS is committed to advancing public social science and partnership working.

We are pleased to work with a range of external partners through our collaborative studentships, advanced training, placements, sponsorship, workshops and conferences. Partners span public, private and voluntary sectors and are based in the UK and beyond. All SeNSS doctoral researchers are encouraged to develop a collaborative dimension to their projects over the lifetime of their funding award.

All our external partners are invited to become members of the SeNSS Collaborative Partner Forum. Members feature on our website, receive regular bulletins on SeNSS activities and invited to engage with these where possible.

In addition, five external partners are invited to join the SeNSS Collaborative Advisory Group. Members of this group assist our Management Board, Strategy Board and our Training, Employability and Development Group to refresh strategic goals. Members are invited to join this group for twelve months in the first instance with the option to renew for a further twelve months, and are invited to comment on, and contribute to, selected SeNSS initiatives.
