Delivery of 3 day collaboration events

Each centre will hold a 3 day event, bringing together local actors from public, private and social sectors to co-create social innovation solutions to the defined challenges from T3.3. They will be joined by social innovators from across Europe who can showcase examples of how they have addressed a similar challenge. These examples may serve as inspiration for new innovations or trigger an exploration of their potential for scaling or replicating into the local context. This will create opportunities for Member States to inspire one another, translate ideas between contexts, and foster transnational learning. The events will follow a process of open innovation and aim to engage actors who do not currently self-identify as part of the field. The resulting models of social innovation are likely to include strategic partnerships, social ventures and social movements or campaigns. In this way, we aim to test the effect of transnational collaboration and sharing of key lessons between innovators in different states.
