The document discusses Socialsciencespace, a new online platform for the social science community. It will provide a space for researchers, funders, think tanks, government agencies, and policymakers to explore and share ideas on big issues in social science. The platform has over 70 contributors so far, with 40 posts and content from senior academics and leading organizations. It aims to foster professional networking and community engagement. A soft launch occurred in December with a full launch planned for January. The goal is for it to become an exciting resource for bringing the social science community together.
