Engage

The Centre for Human & Social Capital Research (CHSCR) engages with external scholars, universities and businesses through research collaboration and consultancy. The centre also has opportunities for higher-degree research students.

CHSCR is a node of the Social Innovation Network (SInet), which brings together researchers from many disciplines to support the development and coordination of research collaborations that can create a better future for people.

Research collaboration

CHSCR members are currently working together on several collaborative research projects, including:

• ARC-funded project on the Effects of Army Service on Australia’s Vietnam Veterans (Siminski & Ville)
• Disaster management and social capital (Allen & Ville)
• Spectrum Efficiency (Yerokhin & Freyens)
• Effects of legal alcohol access on youth outcomes (Siminski & Yerokhin)
• Effects of schooling on fertility and other life outcomes (Lindo & Siminski)

CHSCR welcomes partnerships with universities or academics interested in joint research into issues that involve aspects of human and social capital, or to spend some time at the centre.
