Introduction to Giannino Bassetti Foundation. The Foundation aims to help actors in complex innovation scenarios to become aware of their roles and responsibilities.
Social Innovation Value Chain: Governance and Intermediaries by Javier Echeve...Social Innovation Exchange
This document discusses social innovation and the plurality of stakeholders involved. It makes several key points:
1. Social innovation involves new ideas that meet social needs more effectively and create new social relationships. There are many stakeholders with different perspectives and values.
2. The diffusion of social innovations is often conflictual as it can create conflicts between stakeholders' interests and values. An innovation's consequences depend on many agents, not just the promoters.
3. Studies of social innovation should analyze disruptive processes led by social movements, not just organizations. This would provide a more comprehensive understanding of innovation processes and their unintended impacts.
This document discusses social innovation in Zagreb, Croatia. It describes the Social Innovation Lab, which maps and supports social innovation in the Western Balkans. The Lab explores new models and solutions, develops a network of social innovators, and conducts policy analysis. It discusses common misconceptions about social innovation and outlines aspects that currently support social innovation in Croatia, such as recognition of its importance and some intermediary support for social entrepreneurs. The document proposes a "City Lab" model for Zagreb to channel individual efforts into an ecosystem through components like a creative lab, centers for urban culture and social entrepreneurship development, and marketing assistance. It outlines next steps such as developing a social innovation training curriculum and exploring a City Lab with the
The Role of Housing Providers in Sparking and Supporting SI by Margaret BurrellSocial Innovation Exchange
This document discusses a program run by the Young Foundation, Metropolitan Housing Association, and Olmec to support migrant social entrepreneurs in London and Nottingham. Through two programs called FSISE and CLIMB, over 60 migrant social entrepreneurs received support over 12 months. Metropolitan was interested due to its history assisting immigrants. Barriers faced by migrant entrepreneurs included prejudice, unrecognized qualifications, language skills, and lack of relationships with decision makers. The program helped participants establish businesses structures, networks, and articulate their offerings to housing associations. It served as a model for housing providers to support social entrepreneurs through intermediary organizations and address social needs.
Developing Social Innovation Ecosystems in Cities by Christoph Kaletka & Dmit...Social Innovation Exchange
This document discusses developing social innovation ecosystems in cities. It defines social innovation and notes that social innovations emerge from addressing social needs and challenges. It finds that social innovations involve multi-sector collaboration between public, private, and civil society partners. Effective social innovation ecosystems provide resources and address barriers to support social innovations from idea to established practice. Cities are important places for social innovations to emerge and be tested through experimentation.
New York Innovation Ecosystem PoliciesVíctor Mulas
The document discusses New York City's efforts to create a vibrant tech innovation ecosystem by addressing weaknesses in talent, capital, and space through policies to improve education, provide seed funding, and establish collaboration spaces. It notes that while New York's investment levels and number of large exits have grown, many founders lack technical backgrounds and many jobs in the sector remain below the masters level.
This document summarizes innovation initiatives in Turin, Italy that have helped it earn the second prize in the 2016 European Capital of Innovation Award. It describes how Turin has increased its creative community hubs and addressed social challenges through initiatives like a national smart communities call that funded 40 projects. Turin's Torino Social Innovation approach has created an innovation ecosystem with public and private partners to support social startups through facilities, funding, mentoring and other services. Examples highlighted include FaciliTO Barriera di Milano, which supports businesses in struggling neighborhoods, and Innova.To, which funds ideas from public employees.
The Northern Ireland Scaling AcceleratorGorka Espiau
The AmplifyNI Scaling Accelerator is an innovation support programme to rapidly accelerate the growth of new solutions to social problems in Northern Ireland. It is delivered by the Young Foundation and funded by the Department of Social Development.

http://opensciencefair.eu/theatrical-workshop-are-you-ready-to-perform-in-the-rri-ecosystem
This document discusses the history and impact of social entrepreneurship. It explains that the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship was created in 1998 by Klaus and Hilde Schwab to promote entrepreneurial solutions to social problems. The Foundation provides networking opportunities for social entrepreneurs at World Economic Forum events. This has resulted in increased visibility, funding, partnerships and policy support for social entrepreneurs. In turn, social entrepreneurs have inspired business and political leaders to establish social venture funds and consider social innovations.
This document provides an introduction to the concept of systematic innovation in philanthropy. It begins with three short stories that illustrate how taking a more systematic approach to innovation can improve social impact. The introduction argues that while flashes of inspiration drive many advances, they are unpredictable and difficult to manage consistently. Research shows that a systematic, disciplined process of innovation typically yields more productive, scalable, and sustainable ideas over time. The document aims to explore how philanthropy can adopt practices and processes to intentionally foster innovation as a management strategy, rather than relying on sporadic flashes of creativity.
This document summarizes a conversation on social innovation in building a network society. It discusses the need for new social structures like maverick networks to foster innovation. It also addresses the importance of more effective communication through public consultation and agile policymaking. Failure is seen as necessary for learning and social progress. Small startups like experience platforms and charities can drive social innovation. New forms of storytelling and collaboration hubs are needed to share new ideas and opportunities. The big ideas are new networks, new consultation processes, and new platforms to collaboratively build a network society.
The Bassetti Foundation's mission is to promote responsible innovation by addressing actors involved in complex innovation scenarios and increasing awareness of responsibility. The Foundation promotes responsible innovation through political and cultural activities, fostering awareness among entrepreneurs, policymakers, and communicators of the multiple consequences of their decisions regarding innovation. It defines innovation as something previously improbable but now real, forging new links between knowledge and power through previously unknown objects, relations, or situations. The Foundation conducts research, teaching, dissemination activities, and cooperation with academic institutes and businesses on topics related to responsible innovation.
Social innovation aims to address social problems in a sustainable way through new approaches. Many existing social innovation projects and organizations can be analyzed based on their evolution stage, from early visioning and experimentation to proven solutions operating at larger scales. For social innovation to succeed and grow, key factors include attracting talented individuals, measuring social impact, collaboration across sectors, and government support through dedicated policies and funding.
This document discusses various aspects of social innovation including examples of social innovation projects, the evolution stages of such projects, motivations for individuals and organizations to engage in social innovation, key components and factors for success, and ways to promote social innovation at regional and country levels. Some of the social innovation projects mentioned include microloans to poor people by Muhammad Yunus, food distribution programs in Africa, and combining efforts between Israel and Palestine to achieve peace.
Culture-based creativity stems from artistic and cultural productions and activities that nurture innovation beyond just artistic content. It requires personal abilities like lateral thinking, technical skills, and a social environment that encourages creativity. Culture-based creativity impacts economies by generating new visions, differentiation, intangible values, and disruption. It drives innovation in products, services, branding, human resources, and meeting new demands. Europe has significant cultural assets but does not fully harness creativity's potential; a creativity policy is needed to promote culture-based innovation and social progress.
Human to Human: The New Imperative for Creative SustainabilityArya Davachi
In 2020, NeueHouse and leading creative agency TBWA\Chiat\Day led a 6-week think tank comprised exclusively of NeueHouse Members and TBWA\Chiat\Day staffers, exploring the idea of Creative Sustainability — preserving and expanding our personal creative energy and a continued push for innovation in creative thinking.
This seminar series led to the creation of our Human to Human whitepaper.
This document discusses three examples of systematic innovation:
1) The Medici family in 15th century Florence systematically supported innovators from different fields and places, fostering unprecedented collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas that sparked the European Renaissance.
2) Modern companies like Google systematically apply principles like collaboration across disciplines, creating support systems for innovation, and embracing new technologies to consistently generate innovations.
3) Open-source software projects demonstrate how systematically involving large networks of people in problem-solving through new Internet technologies can lead to transformative innovations.
This document provides an overview of intentional and systematic approaches to innovation that could improve philanthropy and increase social impact. It discusses how innovation does not need to be unpredictable, but can be managed systematically using distinct processes and tools. A framework is presented for understanding the innovation process, covering stages from defining problems to diffusing solutions. Opportunities for innovation in philanthropy are explored, along with different roles organizations and individuals can play in the innovation process. The goal is to spark discussion on how to advance innovation in the social sector in a deliberate and sustainable manner over time.
This document provides an introduction to "The Open Book of Social Innovation", which maps out hundreds of methods for social innovation being used around the world. It describes social innovation as new ideas that meet social needs and create new social relationships. The context for social innovation is explained as traditional government and market solutions proving inadequate for problems like climate change and health epidemics. An emerging social economy is outlined that blurs production and consumption boundaries and emphasizes collaboration over one-off transactions. The book aims to support those involved in social innovation by documenting different methods.
This document discusses entrepreneurial philanthropy and analyzes data from a study of 100 UK entrepreneurial philanthropists. Some key findings:
- Entrepreneurial philanthropists tend to be male, aged 46-65, and have a minimum personal wealth of £10 million. They redistribute at least £1 million through formal philanthropic vehicles like foundations.
- They draw on various types of capital - economic, cultural, social, symbolic - gained from their entrepreneurial experiences and successes. This capital provides resources and connections that influence their philanthropic activities.
- Their motivations include a desire to have impact and be engaged in solving social problems, as well as to be less selfish with their wealth.
- There
Establishing_a_Humanitarian_Entrepreneur (2).pdfSGB Media Group
This document discusses establishing a Humanitarian Entrepreneurial Innovation Space (HEIS) through a proposed model of a Humanitarian Entrepreneurial Incubator (HEI). The HEI would be a partnership between humanitarian organizations and humanitarian entrepreneurs, where organizations host entrepreneurs within their offices and provide resources and insights as entrepreneurs develop innovative products or services for humanitarian response. The benefits of this model include enabling collaboration between humanitarian practitioners and local innovators to better meet growing humanitarian needs. Risks would need to be mitigated, such as ensuring alignment with organizational mandates.

The HEI would be a partnership between humanitarian organizations and humanitarian entrepreneurs, where organizations host entrepreneurs within their offices and provide resources and insights as entrepreneurs develop innovative products or services for humanitarian response. The document outlines the benefits of this model for both organizations and entrepreneurs, as well as considerations for selecting the right model, risks, and how to support entrepreneurs. It argues that an HEI could help address growing humanitarian needs and spur collaboration between local innovators and practitioners.
The document discusses the foundations of social media and how organizations can effectively utilize social media. It describes social media as participatory, open, conversational, and communal. It emphasizes focusing on connections rather than size and using social media to strengthen communities. The document provides examples of how religious institutions have used social media like Facebook, blogs, and Twitter to engage wider audiences and build social capital through openness and sharing valuable information. It stresses that while technology is important, social media requires a strategic, community-focused approach centered around authentic human connections.
As a data science consulting firm, we work across a broad range of industries to help its clients solve their most pressing business challenges. Recently, Datascope has used its process of solving problems with data to help solve some of its own challenges. We struggled with predicting tax payments, knowing when it was “good to hire” and generally understanding the mechanics of our business. During this talk, I will describe Datascope’s journey and how it has instrumented its own business—from Monte Carlo simulations of our finances to tracking time against specific projects—so that it can operate more efficiently and keep its team members ever happier with their roles and responsibilities.
Building a Place and a Community with Digital Communications and Social NetworksSam Hammar
The document outlines communications strategies and tactics used from 2007-2010 to build awareness and support for the Boston Innovation District. It began with major investments but faced challenges due to the economic recession. In 2010, a new approach was called for that was more deliberate and experimental. The strategies focused on drawing curiosity, creating emotional connections, and encouraging action through low-involvement persuasion tactics. Key tactics included meetings with local groups, targeted industry publications, and utilizing new and social media like blogs, Twitter and Tumblr to engage audiences and spread the message globally and locally. The conversation grew in a self-sustaining way and demand drove new real estate and economic opportunities in the district.
This document discusses the role and characteristics of think tanks. It provides examples of think tanks like Cogito, a Swedish Green think tank founded in 2005. Cogito aims to further sustainable development through broad public debate, constructive ideas, and exploring viable political alternatives. It seeks to critically examine dominant paradigms and power structures. The document also discusses how Cogito explores green political thought and praxis, addresses issues like peace and conflict resolution, and the intersection of environmental issues and social welfare systems.

This document discusses a case study on mentoring social entrepreneurs in Israel. It explores how a venture philanthropy foundation there applies concepts from the high-tech business world to support social programs. The research examines how different players understand social entrepreneurship and justify applying business ideas to social causes. It also looks at how mentors and social entrepreneurs interact and interpret the mentoring process. The study uses ethnographic research methods to gain these insights into translating and institutionalizing new social practices.

Our classification technique uses a deep CNN to classify skin lesions. An image is warped through the CNN architecture into a probability distribution over clinical skin disease classes. The CNN was pretrained on a large generic image dataset and fine-tuned on a dataset of over 129,000 skin lesions spanning 2,032 diseases. Data integration from multiple sources is key to future digital medicine, but challenges include data quality, availability, and privacy. Techniques like distributed learning models and homomorphic encryption can help address privacy concerns while enabling large-scale data sharing and analysis.

The document discusses precision medicine and genetic testing. It presents a hypothetical case in 2010 of a 23-year-old man named John who undergoes genetic testing to determine his risk for various diseases. The testing reveals both increased and decreased risks compared to the general population. John is able to take preventive measures, such as medication and lifestyle changes, to reduce his risk of diseases like heart disease and cancer based on his genetic results. The document also discusses ensuring public understanding and consent regarding genetic testing and precision medicine.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

1. The Bassetti Foundation’s mission is to promote responsible innovation. The Foundation addresses the actors involved in complex innovation scenarios to increase awareness and foster new roles in the issue of responsibility.
2. • it promotes the concept and culture of responsible innovation, making its meaning, function and impact clearer through political and cultural activity; • it fosters awareness of the issue of responsibility in innovation, and of the multiple (and often unforeseeable) consequences of the decisions of entrepreneurs, politicians and policy makers, journalists and communication professionals. Bassetti Foundation acts along these lines:
3. 1. means "something previously improbable, now made real“ and not simply "novelty". “ Innovation” for the Bassetti Foundation:
4. 2. forges new links between knowledge and power that bring into existence previously unknown objects, relations or situations “ Innovation” for the Bassetti Foundation:
5. “ Innovation” for the Bassetti Foundation: 3. is not “invention” (science and capital intensive), but the ability to transform lifestyles
6. “ Innovation” for the Bassetti Foundation: 4. “ Poiesis -intensive” innovation refers to cultural aspects, such as beauty and taste, a s well as to “techno-scientific” applications.
7. “ Innovation” for the Bassetti Foundation: 5. is not an individual "creative" act, but a social process that permeates politics and institutions and, in turn, depends on them.
