Social Innovation in Europe - Intermediate Conference of the FP7 Pjojekt TEPSIE
TEPSIE is a research collaboration between six European institutions aimed at understanding the theoretical, empirical and policy foundations for developing the field of social innovation in Europe. The project explores the barriers to innovation, as well as the structures and resources that are required to support social innovation at the European level. The aim is to identify what works in terms of measuring and scaling innovation, engaging citizens and using online networks to maximum effect in order to assist policy makers, researchers and practitioners working in the field of social innovation.
The “Heidelberg Conference” is the project´s midterm meeting. The results achieved will be discussed with a broader audience and the plans for the second half of the project will be presented and discussed.
TEPSIE has been funded through the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development of the European Commission, under the topic "New innovation processes including Social Innovation”.
