European Social Innovation Competition

Dear friends of social innovation,

We are now getting closer to October 11th and we would like to invite you to join us in Milan for the launch of our second European Social Innovation Competition.

The event is organised in partnership with the UniCredit Foundation and will take place in a splendid venue located in the heart of Milan (L'Umanitaria, via Daverio 7). You can read through the agenda and register HERE.

The Competition will be launched by Antonio Tajani, Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Enterprise and Industry together with high-level representatives from Italian authorities and from UniCredit.

The second edition will keep the same focus – how social innovation provides, directly or indirectly, solutions for jobs – and will remain open to individuals and organisations. It will still include a strong coaching component to help the best ideas become real projects.

Details will be presented on the day but you can already get prepared, spread the news and of course follow us on Twitter (@EUSocialInnov #diogochallenge).

What difference can social innovation make for jobs? What role can social innovation play in Italy? We will discuss those topics and we want to hear your views. JOIN US in Milan on October 11th!
