Does the phrase “social innovation” resonate with you? Come and co-create at our networking day

Have you ever wondered how good ideas turn into solutions that actually work in society? On 14 May, the social innovators’ idea day “Võrsumine” will take place at the Energy Discovery Centre (Energia Avastuskeskus) in Tallinn. The event brings together people who work with these questions on a daily basis, as well as those who would like to contribute more to the field.

The focus of the day is on sharing knowledge and connecting people. Researchers, students, social enterprises, practitioners, and policymakers will come together to discuss the future of social innovation in Estonia and explore ways to better use existing knowledge.

The programme includes a panel discussion and presentations introducing current trends and the state of social innovation. Research findings and learning materials that support teaching and implementing social innovation will also be shared.

The second half of the day focuses on collaboration and discussion. There will be roundtable discussions and case-based sessions where participants can exchange ideas, share experiences, and jointly seek new solutions. Networking is also a key part of the event, offering opportunities to build new contacts and partnerships.

Students, researchers, social innovators and enterprises, public sector representatives, and anyone interested in contributing to societal impact are welcome to attend. Participation is free of charge, but places are limited.
