Case studies

Sharing our research and scholarship through The Engagement Facilitation Fund

Every year The University of Sussex Business School funds scholars and researchers to work directly with external organisations.

First run in 2021, the fund encourages scholars and researchers to link directly with non-academic organisations. 

To date we have run 15 projects with businesses, NGO’s, regulatory bodies, charities, social organisations, and community groups.

Projects have delivered workshops, podcasts, toolkits, online courses, and community interventions across a wide range of topics from financial regulation, post Brexit trade, development economics, sustainability, the circular economy, and transition to net zero, to digital inclusion, communication in the workplace and supporting trans and non-binary people at work.

Below are three case studies illustrating projects carried out in 2023.
