About impact2020

These are unprecedented times and the upheaval to our society requires an extraordinary response from our leaders, our thinkers and our do-ers.

Our first series of impact2020 offered free daily webinars for the Australian for-purpose sector during April, May and June 2020, covering a range of social impact topic areas with CSI's innovative researchers, educators and thought leaders. We're now continuing the series with monthly impact2020 webinars. Please join us.
