SEED – Social innovation Ecosystem Development. Competence centres for social innovation
The specific challenge of SEED is to stimulate and support the establishment of four Social Innovation Competence Centers in Italy, Greece, Romania and Slovenia. Researchers, practitioners, policy-makers and civil servants will work together to create public and open infrastructures capable of assisting national European Social Fund (ESF) managerial authorities to better imply the ESF+ funds for the mainstream of SI as a Public Sector Innovation approach to societal challenges. The ultimate scope of SEED is to prepare such an environment that related actions in the field of social innovation under the next ESF+ programme are established and developed more robustly, and their potential can be fully exploited at a national and european level.
