Making a difference: 
Social Research in an era of austerity

Social research faces major challenges in the face of major reductions to public expenditure. It is now more important than ever to demonstrate how social research can make a difference to effective strategy, policy and practice. Arguably the role of social research becomes more important to guide practice in an era of austerity than one of affluence. Plenary and afternoon panel speakers will be addressing these issues and much more or relevance to the future of social research in the next few years.
