EXPERIENCE AND KNOW-HOW IN THE FIELD OF SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS & RESILIENCE

As the Centre for Social Innovation, social transformation is at the core of most of our projects. We are experts in public and citizen engagement, transdsciplinary approaches and social impact assessment.

IF YOU HAVE ANY POLICY EXPERIENCE, COULD YOU SHARE INFORMATION ON AREAS, METHODS, RISKS, AND FACTORS FOR SUCCESS?

In our projects, societal transformation is at the core, often resulting in recommendations for policymaking (e.g., policy briefs and policy recommendations). In my experience, it is important to target the appropriate level of policymakers and to distill the core recommendations in a way that makes them both understandable and digestible. Too often, recommendations are not taken up, revealing a gap between project outcomes and impact at the policy level.
