The goal of the 15th International Social Innovation Research Conference (ISIRC) is “bringing together the social sciences, engineering and technology” to leverage “social innovation and social entrepreneurship” to address global problems. The 17 streams address areas such as health, education, geography, governance, policy, measuring social impact and “financing sustainability.” Those applying to give presentations on their research will have their results considered for publication in four academic journals.
