Europe Social Innovation Competition 2012

Deadline: 2012-12-21
Award: €20,000

The aim is to find the best social innovation solutions to help people move towards work or into new types of work.

Over 25 million Europeans are out of work. On top of that, many people are stuck in low-paid jobs or sense that they have few opportunities on the job market – sometimes because of their gender, age or a handicap.

This Competition invites any European to come up with new solutions to create new opportunities for work, and for better work. Not doing anything about unemployment and under-employment is not just cruel and wasteful; the corrosive effects of high unemployment will cast a shadow over the economy and our society for years to come.
