The Impact Ecosystem stream offers the opportunity to undertake research into the wider operation of impact-first organisations and the structures within which they work. The stream is broadly defined and might include, for instance:
- Organisational and governance structures of impact-first organisations
- Financial mechanisms and tools.
- The role of government, policy and regulatory frameworks
- Utilisation of technology by impact-first organisations
- Hybrid approaches that combine business mechanisms with social purpose.
- Campaigning work.
Research proposals should also identify with one of the 100x Impact Areas as well as relate to the impact economy.
Impact areas
