Project description
Testing a new social innovation action manual
With support from the European Commission, social innovation is currently well embedded in policy agendas and funding streams. Yet, social innovation’s full potential remains untapped, with several interconnected barriers: firstly, there is a lack of finance, scaling models and qualified personnel; secondly, social innovators act in silos and are not integrated into the wider innovation ecosystem; finally, social innovation toolkits need to be tested and validated in terms of their effectiveness. To tackle these challenges, the EU-funded CHESS project will design, implement and test a “Social Innovation Action manual” in four carefully selected societal challenges, each systemic in nature, in four countries. Through three cycles of testing, iterating and improving, the project will produce a final sharable Social Innovation in Action manual.
