There is a place for you here
CSI UNSW brings together students, educators, researchers and partners across business, government and the community to learn, collaborate and create social impact.
What we research
CSI UNSW’s research on the impact economy examines how systems, markets and organisations can work together to create more inclusive opportunities and stronger social outcomes.
Across the research pillars: Investment, Innovation, and Strategy & Evaluation, we work with partners to build evidence that informs policy, practice and capital allocation.
Connect with the people and ideas shaping social impact
Our network The Social Impact Exchange brings together CSI UNSW students, alumni, academics, industry partners and collaborators to share perspectives, build relationships and explore the ideas and challenges shaping social impact.
Join the community through our Networking Nights and Innovative Ideas Blog.
