Unemployment, the rising cost of living and poverty have been prominent issues in the headlines for some time. In response, the
current government has launched a social investment strategy.
Join us for the official launch of the AUT Social Transformation Research Institute, where we’ll bring together three experts to discuss their perspectives on social investment and what is needed to effect change and create inclusive, sustainable communities. They’ll also share their thoughts on how researchers, policymakers and community groups could work together to create sustainable futures.
