The Centre for Social Innovation initiated, together with “SozialMarie – Award for innovative social projects”, a week of various events promoting the concept and practices of social innovation from Oct. 9 – 13, 2006.
Conferences, workshops, public debates etc. will take place in Vienna, whereby due to the deliberate intention to develop local competencies and to build on existing knowledge and experience, as a principle the working language is German.
Also the website www.soziale-innovation.net – informing in detail about the programme – thus far is in German only. However, we are going to carry on with presenting social innovations (events, projects, training measures, coaching etc.) in a mapping to be shown at the site. Therefore it will be made multi-lingual soon after the week of events.
