We have exciting news! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our community platform on Mighty Networks, exclusively for members of ISCA.

The platform opens up a world of opportunities for our members to engage, learn, and collaborate. It serves as a hub where you can connect with fellow members, exchange knowledge, showcase your work, access valuable resources, and foster meaningful partnerships that promote cooperation and collaboration.

By joining our Mighty Networks community, you gain access to a global network of like-minded individuals who share your passion for social capital. It’s a space where researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts come together to exchange ideas, insights, and experiences.

To access the platform:

1. Current ISCA members: Keep an eye on your inbox as you’ll be receiving an email invitation to join our Mighty Networks community today. If you don’t see the email in your inbox, please check your spam folder and let us know if it hasn’t arrived.
2. Not yet an ISCA member? No worries! You can join ISCA today and automatically receive an invitation to join our vibrant community.

We’re also excited to introduce interest groups within our community. Social capital encompasses a wide range of topics and perspectives, and these interest groups provide focused spaces for members to delve into specific areas of interest. For example, you might find groups like “Social Capital and Disaster Resilience” or others that align with your passions. We will launch more interest groups as popular topics are identified.

We invite all members to actively participate in this platform, sharing your unique perspectives, insights, and experiences. Together, let’s build a thriving community that revolves around the essence of social capital.
