Koç University Social Impact Forum (KUSIF) was established in 2012 as a Research and Practice Center, creating social impact by enriching future leaders, academia, and staff with experiential learning, advanced knowledge, and valuable networks on social impact, social entrepreneurship, and sustainability. KUSIF brings a holistic approach to social impact education in the campus in three dimensions: 1- Academic activities (courses and speciality track), 2- Social Impact Lab (incubation program and student fellowship), 3- Community Impact (trainings, networks, and resources open to the public.) KUSIF uses the SDGs as a catalyzer, encouraging young change makers to connect knowledge and practice. This holistic approach is scalable for global stakeholders looking to create organizations addressing the 2030 agenda.
