Social Innovation Plus – Competence Centres (SI PLUS)
SI PLUS is building up national competence centres for social innovation in Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia. It boosts social innovation, notably with a focus on employment and the labour market. It organises mutual learning and breaks down research results into practical approaches and tools for practitioners implementing ESF+ programmes. SI PLUS also mobilises the expertise of partners from Germany, Slovenia, Croatia and the European Network of Social Integration Enterprises (ENSIE).
SI PLUS is one of the six projects supported by the European Commission in order to establish national competence centres for social innovation across the EU. During two years (May 2021-May 2023) social innovation organisations, research centres, ESF managing authorities and other partners design and develop competence centres, which can help their countries to promote social innovation, including with funding from ESF+ and other EU programmes.
The project is funded by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, European Social Fund and European Programme for Employment and Social Innovation.
