The European Local Innovation Forum (ELIF) launches a call for projects showcasing Community-Led Social Innovations (CLSI) across the EU. This initiative aims to highlight and promote inspiring examples, culminating in the launch of a CLSI network during ELIF’s online event in November 2024.
Objectives of the Call:
Increase understanding and recognition of CLSI and its significant value in addressing social challenges.
Identify, share, and learn from community-led social innovation experiences that respond to key emerging social needs.
Establish a dynamic network connecting EU-based local actors and communities to facilitate knowledge exchange and collaboration among those engaged in or aspiring to undertake community-led social innovation initiatives. This will build capacities to support the scale-up and transferability of successful experiences across Europe.
Benefits for applicants:
Participating in this call offers the opportunity to increase the visibility of your project at a European level, enhancing credibility and attracting potential partners, funding organisations, and new initiatives. It also allows you to enhance your team’s skills and knowledge through participation in upcoming ELIF CLSI events and activities, and to contribute to strengthening the voice of local actors involved in social innovation to improve policies supporting them.
Submission guidelines:
Deadline: 16 September 2024, 17h00 CET.
The final selection of projects will be finalised and communicated by 11 October 2024.
