Kick-off webinar series: Social Innovation Project Exchange

We are excited to launch the Social Innovation Project Exchange webinar series — a new space for connecting EU projects working on social innovation.
Our first session on November 27th focuses on building and supporting social innovation ecosystems.

The series aims to revive and strengthen the exchange between projects within and beyond the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme, and to enable regular dialogues on social innovation methods, tools and strategies.

This first exchange will explore how different projects foster environments for social and ecological innovation, and how we can collectively improve the ecosystems that make social innovation thrive.

Goals

🤝 Networking & Synergy Building: Connect with other EU-funded projects and identify shared challenges and opportunities.

💡 Exchange of Experience: Discover methods and tools that have proven effective in other contexts.

🧭 Policy & Strategy Development: Formulate recommendations on how programmes can better support social innovation.

🌍 Visibility & Collaboration: Promote project websites, outputs and solutions – paving the way for joint initiatives and long-term cooperation.

The insights collected may contribute to a joint position paper aiming to inspire future EU funding calls and improve the framework for social innovation.

Speakers

Our speakers will focus on tools and methods which worked best in their project to support the social innovation ecosystem and will also share challenges and insights from their project’s journey.
