SUMMARY:3-CO-Webinar "Creating Impact: Social Innovation in the EU-BioEconomy  – What policymakers can do"
DESCRIPTION:10 July 2025\, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM CET\, online\n \nThis upcoming webinar by the EU funded 3-CO project will showcase good practice examples of social innovation from all across Europe and beyond to inspire sustainable change and present policy recommendations on how to support and scale such initiatives. .\nSocial innovation is increasingly recognised as a vital force for addressing most pressing societal challenges of modern societies\, ranging from climate change and resource scarcity to social exclusion and health issues. At their core\, social innovations introduce new ideas to solve problems\, be it products\, services\, or models. These can meet social needs more effectively than existing solutions. These innovations are social in their ends or means\, and they thrive through collaboration\, whether in social enterprises\, corporate projects\, non-profits\, public sector programs\, or grassroots community initiatives. \nSocial Innovation for Sustainable Change\nThe European Research Project 3-CO (Concise Consumer Communication through Robust Labels for Biobased Systems) is committed to supporting consumers and stakeholders in making more sustainable and environmentally responsible choices. Beyond its efforts to improve consumer communication and labelling\, 3-CO actively aims to implement and promote social innovation practices that empower citizens\, businesses\, and actors in the public sector to adopt responsible behaviours. \nOn July 10th 2025\, from 13:00 to 14:30 CEST\, 3-CO will host a dedicated webinar on social innovation. This event will present a new brochure of 17 social innovation case studies that brings together a wide variety of good practice examples from across Europe and beyond. The brochure is designed to inform\, inspire\, and guide policymakers\, civil society organisations\, private businesses\, and citizens\, demonstrating that everyone has a role to play in adopting and supporting social innovations. The project further developed and recently published a policy paper that aims to foster social innovation. The included recommendations for policy makers will be presented in the webinar.\nTwo social innovations holders will discuss challenges of setting and scaling up their initiatives and evaluate the generated societal and environmental change. \n17 Case studies\nThe brochure features 17 real-world examples such as a “library of things” that encourages borrowing instead of buying\, reduces waste and strengthens community bonds. Other cases include a clothing swap platform\, community gardens\, digital food sharing solutions\, or a recycling support app. Each case illustrates how innovative approaches can simultaneously meet social needs\, foster new relationships\, and promote sustainable consumption patterns.\nThe brochure\, and the upcoming webinar\, aim to show how social innovations can be replicated and adapted in other countries and contexts\, offering policy recommendations and governance models to help establish these solutions.\nParticipants of the webinar will gain insight into how social innovation can be a catalyst for sustainability\, discover inspiring examples\, and learn about policy measures that can support similar initiatives in their own communities or organisations. This is an opportunity to engage with leading thinkers and practitioners\, and become part of a movement that is shaping a more responsible and sustainable future for the whole society. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_P8qUxMnkQRm9mn9ZdcPuFg \n\nFurther information: \n3-CO (https://3co-project.eu)
