🎧 Tune in now to Episode 6: Smart, fair, wise: keeping strong #SSH in Europe! This episode in the #JustEurope podcast series is a discussion about why understanding people, cultures and societies is so vital for Europe. #research #innovation employment-social-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies-and...

👉 EASSH urges the EC to consider #innovation not just in monetary terms & to introduce new management structures or mechanisms that have a positive impact on society. 👉 EASSH calls for a better focus on #socialinnovation, the outcomes of which are captured in well-being & health indices.

➡️ With a broad definition of #innovation, the future European Innovation Act can ensure that a wide range of innovations are supported, considering different sectoral needs+specificities: e.g. access to finance, pathway support, skills development, talent acquisition/retention & impact monitoring.

On the future European Innovation Act: ➡️ EASSH urges the European Commission to follow the OECD & Eurostat in adopting a broad definition of #innovation, beyond the business sector, and incl. public sector service provision, non-profit institutions, social and community enterprises and households.
