Knowledge sharing platform
The Knowledge Sharing Platform facilitates mutual learning, capacity building, and networking among ESF+ bodies, social innovation support structures, and stakeholders through Communities of Practice (CoPs) and two networks. The platform empowers beneficiaries through activities such as mutual learning sessions and seminars aimed at advancing social innovation. It consolidates information from National Competence Centres for Social Innovation to map the social innovation ecosystem in Europe. Additionally, it oversees the European Commission’s Social Innovation Match (SIM) database: ensures the platform operates smoothly, guarantees its visibility and accessibility, coordinates national and EU validators, and keeps the platform user-friendly and up to date for users. With five CoPs and two networks, the platform fosters collaboration, enriching innovation efforts throughout Europe.
