Interested to identify the organisations or people with whom you can and want to share your knowledge, and how to do that effectively? Looking for an internship in collaboration with societal partners? Then the course 'Knowledge for society' is made for you.

In this course you will find out how researchers of the humanities can make good use of their academic knowledge and skills in society and how you can actively contribute to societal needs. You will learn about societal impact through cultural entrepreneurship, community-based research, and commissioned research.

At the end of the course, you will create a project plan in one of the following three formats:

  • a business plan for a business or non-profit cultural enterprise;
  • a research project done in collaboration with societal partners;
  • a research project commissioned by an external partner.
