The British Council is looking for UK consultant to design a survey and act as lead researcher, supported by a local researcher from each country, on understanding the existing social innovation and entrepreneurship research and teaching landscape at higher education institutions in four countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Vietnam.

The survey should be designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing social innovation and Social Enterprise activities in research, teaching and incubation. The study should analyse gaps in knowledge and capacity and future ambitions of the academic community in this area. It should also measure proxies to gauge the levels of trust and collaboration that currently exist across academic disciplines, between universities and between universities and society. The survey is designed to both be a publicly available document which will inform strategy, and policy for higher education institutions around social innovation and Social Enterprise. The survey will be supported by a Taskforce Group/Advisory Group who will play a strategic advisory role in contributing to the study.
