Social Innovation and Civic Engagement (ITSSOIN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

Research has made seminal contributions to describing the size and scope of the Third Sector, including volunteering as an essential component. However, most of the research has focused on economic benefits (revenues, employment etc.). We highly value these efforts, but posit that the core contribution and main impact of the sector on socio-economic development lies in the creation of social innov ...
