New network on Social Innovation and Civic Engagement
Julie Uldam has received funding DKK 395.821 from the Danish Ministry for Social Affairs to set up a network on Social Innovation and Civic Engagement. The network's online platform has just been launched at n-SICE.
The purpose of the network is to bring together leading academics and practitioners to discuss the role of civic engagement in volunteering and public/private partnerships. The network will host multi-stakeholder seminars with academic speakers and practitioners. A launch event will take place in London in July. The first workshop is scheduled for November in Copenhagen.
