Social Innovation and/in R&I Policy Funding

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INTEREST! REGISTRATIONS ARE CLOSED FOR THIS COURSE
The training will familiarise the participants with the basic concepts of social innovation. It will sort social innovation in the wider concept of innovation and explain different approaches to de-fine social innovation.

Basic research questions in the context of social innovation will be introduced and explained, and the concept will be placed into the context of challenge-oriented R&I policies. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange experiences with programmes covering social innovation and learn from peers and trainers.

Special focus will be on new challenges when social innovation is included in programmes and initiatives. Funding and support agencies will have to communicate with new types of actors, new demands towards support in project management, and especially new criteria for evaluat-ing proposals and project results.
