Established in 1994, this organisation aims to improve social science research capability, mainly in the tertiary sector.
The BRCSS network, launched in 2003, was granted $8 million over five years by the Tertiary Education Commission. The network has brought together a platform of 59 externally funded programmes under the general title of Social Futures for Aotearoa/New Zealand in a Global Area. These research projects are banded into five key themes:
- New wealth creation and distribution systems in a globalised context
- Social justice and development
- Transmission of wealth/knowledge in a context of demographic change
- Sustainability of diverse households, communities and settlements
- Building e-research networks in the social sciences.
To encourage networking and shared workspaces an Access Grid Node has been established at each Participating Institution.
