About the Conference
Registration for this event has been closed.
We are pleased to announce the second edition of the Social Innovation Conference at SWPS University in Warsaw, focusing on activities that aim to enhance the Quality of Life for individuals, social groups, and nations. Our goal is to bring together the scientific community and practitioners passionate about social innovation to create a platform for the exchange of ideas and expertise.
The conference program offers an engaging line-up of activities. On the first day, we will have a thought-provoking debate titled "Quality of Life the Year After. Achievements and Challenges," building on the scientific conference held at the SWPS University's Faculty of Social Sciences in Warsaw in September 2021.
The second day of the conference will be divided into three tracks. The first track will feature scientific reflections on social innovation. The second track will have parallel sessions on business projects with positive social impact and the challenges of promoting social innovation and social responsibility in university education. The third track will have parallel sessions focused on co-creation and community-based innovations and the presentation of social innovation initiatives implemented by SWPS University students.
In addition to these tracks, moderated networking sessions will be held before the debate on the first day and after the presentations on the second day.
The event will be conducted in English on the first day and in Polish on the second day.
The conference is free of charge. Join us for this exciting opportunity to learn, share knowledge, and contribute to the development of the field of social innovation.
