The CSSI Community generates theoretical and practice-based insights on the role, processes and outcomes of collaborations between business, public, civil society and philanthropic sectors. This includes social and development partnerships, multi-stakeholder initiatives, public-private partnerships, public finance initiatives and social entrepreneurship. We convene academics and practitioners in the field of cross-sector social interactions to share research and promote dialogue and exchange among diverse actors. Through generating and sharing knowledge and experience we seek to improve collaborative practice to address social, economic and environmental challenges.

The CSSI Scientific Committee provides academic grounding and oversight for the CSSI symposia series and includes current and previous conference organizers as well as winners of the CSSI Life Time Achievement Award. We acknowledge their support and contributions towards CSSI2024.
