National Competence Centres Onsite Event ‘Connecting Forces for Social Innovation: Partnerships, Practice and the Way Forward’

We are pleased to invite you to the onsite event for the representatives of the National Competence Centres for Social Innovation ‘Connecting Forces for Social Innovation: Partnerships, Practice and the Way Forward’, which will take place on 10–11 November in Dublin, Ireland. This event is organised by the National Competence Centres Working Group under the Community of Practice on Social Innovation and Transnational Calls Team.

The National Competence Centres Mutual Learning Event in Dublin will explore how partnerships across the public, philanthropic, private and social innovation sectors can create stronger conditions for social innovation. Building on the Irish experience and perspectives from other EU Member States, the event will provide a space to exchange practical approaches to cross-sector collaboration and learn from social innovations that have developed and grown through such partnerships. 

Through panel discussions, project visits and interactive workshops, participants will examine what makes collaboration work in practice, identify common challenges and lessons, and reflect on how these experiences can inform the future work of National Competence Centres and the wider social innovation community.
