Special Interest Group

Role of participants - All partnersRather than create yet another network for social entrepreneurs and innovators, we will capitalise on the networks of all consortium partners. However, in particular, we will utilise the already existing open platform of the ISPIM and its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which use digital technologies as well as face-to-face interaction during conferences to connect a global network of actors working on specific innovation topics. We will take two approaches: 1) invite social innovators and entrepreneurs to be part of existing SIGs, thereby further integrating actors and social innovation dimension in already active innovation management networks; and 2) Create a new special interest group on social innovation which will mix social entrepreneurs and wider innovation ecosystem actors around specific societal challenges.
