‘We invite academic researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to attend the 16th International Social Innovation Research Conference (ISIRC) in Bern, Switzerland. ISIRC is organized by the Bern University of Applied Sciences and is scheduled to be held at the Business School from September 2-4, 2024.

ISIRC aims to bring together practitioners, policy makers, and scholars from diverse fields interested in social innovation and entrepreneurship. We invite scholars from a variety of disciplines – including social work, management, technology, design, education, sociology, psychology, engineering, etc. – to join us in initiating new debates and developing new solutions to the multiple grand challenges we face.’ (1)

Social Innovation Academy is the first fully online management training programme focusing exclusively on social innovation.

Why Social Innovation Academy? Social innovation has increasingly come to be perceived as the answer to the rising number of European societal challenges. While the European authorities, leading academics, policy experts, business people and activists agree that social innovation is the key to a better future for Europe and the world, it is extremely difficult for professionals to obtain high-quality training on what social innovation actually offers and, more importantly, how it can be done in practice.

The Social Innovation Academy is aiming to change this situation in Europe and beyond. If you are interested in keeping up with this project, you can subscribe to our newsletter, become one of our friends or follow us on social media (LinkedInTwitter and Facebook). We welcome all requests for collaboration here.
