Day One: ISIRC 2021 Abstract-Writing Challenge!

Free
02.19.2021 | 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Day one of a virtual mini-retreat to create your 400-word research abstract for the 2021 International Social Innovation Research Conference (ISIRC).

Are you a doctoral student, post-doctoral scholar, faculty, or independent researcher interested in preparing an abstract for the 13th International Social Innovation Research Conference (ISIRC)?

Register for this free, two-part virtual writing retreat to get practical support to prepare and submit your own research abstract to ISIRC 2021, a major global conference. We recommend joining both days, but attend either day that works.

You will join a community of scholars interested in social innovation and receive advice and encouragement from experienced researchers on the Taylor Center’s Research & Scholarship team.

Register on Eventbrite to get more event details. We will email all registrants a Zoom invite for the sessions and share a folder with examples of accepted abstracts and prior ISIRC programs.
