Leading for Impact: Refugee Entrepreneurs’ Innovation and Impact
The Insights for Action seminar series explores how researchers and practitioners within and beyond Oxford are using research insights to drive social change.

In this seminar we will discuss ‘refugee entrepreneurship’ – with focus on the value of entrepreneurship interventions in this field, the innovation potential of entrepreneurs with a migrant or refugee background, how social impact organisations support refugees and migrants through entrepreneurship interventions, and what insights this field offers about the leadership, organising, and funding approaches needed to facilitate sustainable, innovative, and impactful social change.

The seminar is hybrid and is followed by an in-person reception from 16:30-17:30.
