DSI4EU is a support action in the H2020 Collective Awareness Platforms program. DSI4EU will support, grow and scale the current Digital Social Innovation network of projects, organisations, and individuals bringing together social entrepreneurs, hackers, communities and academics working on key DSI fields such as the maker movement, the collaborative economy, open democracy and digital rights. It will foster digital innovations for social good, helping communities share data, collaborate to solve societal problems, and scale their initiatives focusing on open and distributed technologies and new sustainable business models. Finally, it will represent the building blocks for a new participatory innovation model for Europe, a more decentralised web and an inclusive and sustainable society, including a radical approach to scaling, extending and connecting the DSI network in Europe.

About DSI4EU

Digital Social Innovation has been put on the map through the focus on Collective Awareness Programs. Today we are hosting a policy workshop concerning Digital Social Innovation for Europe. We bring together innovators throughout Europe and leaders from CAPS projects with European Commission Policy officials to get in touch, get inspired and connect your networks. By learning from each other, the community of digital social innovation will be able to grow further and stronger.

Next to growing communities and connecting networks, this workshop will bring you several clear examples of Digital Social Innovation in Europe, and teach you best practices and hands-on tips and tricks for DSI.
