Status quo and future opportunities
In the past decades, the European Union has played a pioneering role in promoting social innovation and establishing better framework conditions for its co-creation and diffusion. Programmes such as Horizon (including the EU missions) and ESF (including the EaSI strand) have enabled research activities and the practical implementation of social innovations. Networks were made possible with COST. There are also numerous examples in other European programmes and the successes have been visible through the dissemination and establishment of new concepts for the (co-)creation and frameworks of innovation in general and social innovation in particular, such as Industry 5.0 or Living Labs. A strong, cross-sector community has emerged and become visible.
In times of new and still unsolved social and political, as well as continuing ecological challenges, the new multi-annual financial framework is now just around the corner.
In the webinar, Barbara Glinsner, Toñi Caro, Christoph Kaletka, Antonius Schroeder and Klaus Schuch will delve deep into single programmes and practice fields to provide a detailed overview and facilitate subsequent in-depth discussions.
