The field of social innovation is rapidly expanding - and the Social Innovation Exchange (SIX) is keeping pace and becoming ever more global. This year, TACSI is very excited to be partnering with SIX to host the 5th annual global gathering in Adelaide.
On the first weekend in March, a diverse and creative bunch of social change agents, techies and other interested people descended onto the City campus of UNSW to participate in Australia's first ever Social Innovation Camp, organised by the Australian Social Innovation Exchange (ASIX).
Social innovation competitions are hitting the big time around the globe as more and more companies and organisations recognise the need for new approaches to social problems and the impact open- and crowd-sourced solutions can have.
On being invited to Vienna to attend the CSI's event "The most needed social innovations of the 21st century", I thought it best to use the opportunity to take a look at what's happening in social innovation in Europe as we prepare to formally launch The Australian Centre for Social Innovation in 2010.
