Vienna Declaration - The most relevant topics in social innovation research
The Vienna Declaration is a key result of the conference "Challenge Social Innovation" which took place in Vienna on September 19-21, 2011, created and established during the event by joint efforts of all participants.
The 14 prioritised topics selected from a total of 56 (identified in 14 thematic sessions) do not represent the completion of the process of determining research issues. In fact, the whole operation was built on being remaining modest enough to know that this is just a beginning. The Vienna Declaration shall be read, commented and considered as a starting point to specify crucial research topics in Social Sciences and Humanities, aiming at the identification, development and implementation of the most needed social innovations of the 21st century.
In her speech at the British Academy in London on November 10, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science emphasised that “the Vienna Declaration is a major contribution to a future research agenda on social innovation”. Read the full speech here.
