In 2016 we decided as a group to hold an annual public event which would be open to academics and practitioners, keeping the numbers limited in the interests of sustained discussion. The colloquia take radical social innovation as their theme because that represents our concept of policy and practice.

The First Radical Social Innovation Colloquium in Cardiff was co-sponsored by WISERD and CRESC in May 2016. You can read Mick Moran’s blog about the colloquium here and access the conference programme here. The opening plenary presentation by Julie Froud can be read here.

The second colloquium took place at Queen Mary University of London in May 2017. You can see the draft programme here.
