The societal impact of social Innovation
R & D entails basic research, applied research, and development (design and development of prototypes and processes). Innovation created in the R&D sectors enables sustainable economic growth. Conversely, social innovation is defined as a concept that can help civil society meet its social needs such as education, community development, and health. It deals with improving the welfare of individuals and communities through employment, consumption, or participation, to provide solutions for individual and community problems. Social innovation adds an important social element to science and technology, such that for example, a product will fit societal needs very well. It also increases the value of the innovation i.e. renewal of science and technology that provides economic and social benefits.
Strategy: The conference in the morning session will entail talks by renowned experts in the fields of R&D innovations and of social innovation towards economic growth, while the technical/scientific sessions will be held in the afternoon session. Depending on the number of accepted papers, parallel sessions may be held on R&D innovation and on social innovation.”
