Project ID: RRF-2.3.1-21-2022-00013

Project description:

The National Laboratory for Social Innovation (TINLAB) was established in autumn 2020. The consortium partners of the National Laboratory for Social Innovation (TINLAB) initiated and coordinated by ELTE are the University of Miskolc and the University of Pannonia, as well as a non-governmental research and knowledge transfer organization, the Harp Foundation.

One of the main goals of the project is to propose a definition and to support the framework for social innovation at the national level, but at the same time to embed Hungarian social innovation research and development and innovation efforts in international cooperation systems. Within the framework of the laboratory, several thematic RDI forums and professional workshops will be established, the aim of which is to develop truly innovative solutions in response to social problems on the one hand, and social needs related to technological change on the other. In a later phase, these developed innovative models, products and services will be tested in real environments, settlements, regions and institutional systems with the involvement of the civil sphere.

The project can cover very broad thematic areas, such as (but not limited to): social welfare, the social impacts of digitalisation, local social innovations, environmental social innovations or the communities and labour market of the future.

Social innovation is the development and implementation of new ideas, which:

• aim to improve well-being and quality of life,
• respond to social needs,
• establish new social relationships and cooperation,
• are innovations that do not only benefit society but also strengthen the active participation of citizens.
