Cit­i­zen sci­ence and local com­mu­ni­ties as a base for social inno­va­tion, webi­nar

The Com­pe­tence Cen­ter for Social Inno­va­tion, which oper­ates in a net­work-like man­ner, togeth­er with the com­pe­tence center’s part­ners and key net­works, orga­nizes a series of webi­na­rs to pro­mote the cre­ation, dis­sem­i­na­tion and imple­men­ta­tion of sus­tain­able social inno­va­tions. 

Why Attend? 

The webi­na­rs aim to deep­en your under­stand­ing of how health and wel­fare sys­tems can be trans­formed through social inno­va­tion. Each ses­sion will cov­er crit­i­cal top­ics such as health and care ecosys­tems, the scal­a­bil­i­ty of inno­va­tions, and more. Be inspired by suc­cess­ful exam­ples and gain insights from short, ana­lyt­i­cal keynotes.

The sec­ond webi­nar of the series: Cit­i­zen sci­ence and local com­mu­ni­ties as a base for social inno­va­tion

This webi­nar is orga­nized in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Metropo­lia UAS.

NEST Euro­pean Inno­va­tion Alliance for Healthy Liv­ing pro­pos­es to estab­lish and facil­i­tate local social inno­va­tion ecosys­tems that nur­ture col­lab­o­ra­tion, co-learn­ing and co-cre­ation. The goal is to empow­er local com­mu­ni­ties and dri­ve social inno­va­tion to pro­mote healthy liv­ing.

This webi­nar will pro­vide you with:

• an intro­duc­tion about how such a local ecosys­tem could look like and how to nur­ture it
• approach­es of cit­i­zen sci­ence to sup­port your ecosys­tem and social inno­va­tion goals
• oppor­tu­ni­ties to learn about the NEST Inno­va­tion Alliance’s approach

Speak­ers

Matthias Guett from SPIN, Ger­many
