Social Innovation
Connect
Co-creating the UK competence centre for social innovation
Social Innovation Connect (SI Connect) is a new initiative that aims to create a better, more connected UK social innovation ecosystem across the regions, with stronger transnational ties to Europe and beyond.
SI Connect is a member of the European Social Innovation Alliance (ESIA), part of an EU-funded programme which supports the establishment of national social innovation competence centres across Europe. We collaborate with ESIA consortium partners in Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Poland and other partners in Europe to promote social innovation and learn from each other.
Over the next few years, we will be learning from, sharing, and accelerating new ways of working collaboratively across the UK and Europe.
SI Connect aims to be…
A catalyst for discovery
A forum for research and capacity building
An advocate for policy change
