(Past) 4 March 2025: Social innovation – online

23 January 2025

The Social Integration Topic Group will hold an informative online meeting on Social Innovation: Creating Social Value for Social Integration in Times of Change. The meeting will take place from 10:00 to 11:30 CET.

Public and social housing is more than providing shelter – it is about building inclusive communities and creating meaningful lives. How do we achieve this in a world full of uncertainty, ambiguity, and complexity, where new challenges arise constantly? The answer lies in innovation.

In this seminar, we will discuss:

  • How to make social innovation a reality within your work
  • What social innovation really is and how it differs from traditional approaches
  • Why social innovation is essential in creating sustainable social value for individuals, organisations, and society
