CfP: Workshop Social Innovation Towards Sustainability | Faro, Portugal 16th April 2020
Dear colleagues, <br> <br>I hope you find this workshop interesting and consider to participate. <br> <br>Best regards, <br> <br>Hugo <br> <br> <br> <br>SOCIAL INNOVATION TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY: EMBRACING CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES <br>FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT <br> <br>Contemporary societies are facing a permanent social, economic and ecological <br>turbulence. Social innovation starts from the willingness to transform ideas <br>into action to respond to problems and contribute for solutions where public <br>policies are failing to provide effective answers. Despite the fragmentation <br>of the field, Regional Science has been an important catalyst for social <br>innovation research by paying attention to territorial innovative responses to <br>emerging social needs. <br> <br>The 25th APDR workshop Social Innovation Towards Sustainability: Embracing <br>Contemporary Challenges for Regional Development will promote the reflection <br>and knowledge sharing on social innovation practices connected with <br>sustainability and regional development. It intends to promote an inter-sector <br>dialogue among researchers, activists, local, regional and national policy <br>makers, associations, non-governmental organizations, practitioners of social <br>innovation and social entrepreneurs. <br> <br>The workshop will take place on 16th April 2020 at the Faculty of Economics, <br>University of Algarve (Faro, Portugal). Its main objective is to discuss the <br>state of the art of social innovation in Regional Science and the contemporary <br>challenge for sustainability. Topics of discussion, among others, regard <br>social innovation, micro-scale innovation, transformative innovation, <br>sustainability transitions and community-based sustainability projects. The <br>workshop intends to stimulate synergies between research, governance and civil <br>society initiatives, present examples of community-based good practices, and <br>contribute to the visibility of social innovation as a central topic for the <br>transformation of society towards a more sustainable future. <br> <br> <br> <br>We invite researchers, activists, public officials and social entrepreneurs to <br>submit proposals for contributions to the workshop. Submissions might be based <br>on formal research or on concrete activist, community or public policy <br>initiatives. <br> <br> <br> <br>More information available at: http://www.apdr.pt/evento_25/index.html <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>Hugo Pinto <br> <br> <br> <br>Permanent Researcher and Co-Coordinator <br> <br>NECES - Research Group on Science, Economy and Society <br> <br>Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra <br> <br> <br> <br>Invited Assistant Professor <br> <br>Faculty of Economics, University of Algarve <br> <br>CinTurs, Research Centre for Tourism, Sustainability and Well-being, <br>University of Algarve <br> <br> <br> <br>orcid.org/0000-0002-8497-4798 <br> <br>My most recent project <br> <br>My most recent <br>publication <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
