ABSTRACT
Cities are the ideal leverage platforms for social innovation, as they represent whole ecosystems where to create and diffuse new or established strategies and actions for generating integrated urban development for economic, social and environmental impact. The notions of social innovation and ecosystem are strictly interrelated, as there cannot be a shared set of solutions enacted by a collective of actors without processes that are social by design.
The next EU programming period 2021 – 2027 could represent an opportunity to further develop the work that many cities in Europe are performing on social innovation.
The workshop is aimed to bring together representatives from Italian metropolitan cities, EU institutions, social innovation communities, relevant national and international stakeholders, with a twofold purpose: advocating for social innovation to be recognised in the next EU programming period as a key strategy to design and deliver urban actions; to position cities as a relevant European actor on social innovation in order to foster better cooperation with international organisations and networks committed to promote innovative social policies.
