What kind of knowledge and skills do we need to create more social innovations across Europe? A Europe-wide survey seeks answers to this question.
The survey is targeted at students, teachers, and practitioners working with social innovations. If your studies or work relate to society, public services, or their development, social innovations likely concern you as well. Completing the survey takes about 20 minutes.
The results will be used to develop future learning materials and will be published on the ESIC website as part of the Skills Monitor.
(More language options are available on the website.)
According to the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, a social innovation is a product, service, process, or strategy that improves society. Unlike other innovations, its purpose is not to meet a specific market demand but to promote collective well-being and sustainability.
