A bold new chapter begins! SEED2SCALE takes social innovation to the next level in Croatia, Greece, Italy, Romania and Slovenia.
SEED2SCALE builds on the legacy of the SEED project, developed between 2021 and 2023, where the blueprints for the Competence Centers were outlined in a co-design process involving not only the project partners but also a broader ecosystem of stakeholders.
Rooted in the principle of “SEEDing competences TO SCALE up social innovation ecosystems” the SEED2SCALE project aims to establish and activate five National Competence Centers for Social Innovation (NCCs) in the participating partner countries: Croatia, Greece, Italy, Romania and Slovenia. The project involves 26 partners from these five countries and has a duration of 36 months.
The ambition of SEED2SCALE is to reach a more mature stage of National Competence Centres for Social Innovation with a defined legal framework and effective governance and business models.
Key actions include:
- defining and testing the core competences of each NCC
- collaborating and co-planning with public authorities and stakeholders
- developing national online platforms related to social innovation
- participating in the transnational network of NCCs in the EU.
