"We have all committed to growth through our Europe 2020 Strategy and the Compact on growth and jobs. But the time has come to make good on this commitment… …The solution to our social crisis is not to abandon the European Social Model. The solution is to reform our social market economy.
A new policy thinking… linking social policies and innovation

EU Policy context
Employment & Social Investment Packages
Social Investment for Growth and Cohesion - COM(2013)83
Strengthening the social dimension of EMU - COM(2013)690
5
6
Increase the sustainability and adequacy of social systems
through simplification and better targeting
Pursue activating and enabling policies through targeted,
conditional and more effective support
Social Investment throughout the individual's life
Towards Social Investment for Growth and Cohesion: including implementing the ESF 2014-2020 COM(2013)83 – 20.02.2013
Rationale
7
Social investment relies on social innovation to
create efficiency gains in social policies and effectiveness in
addressing societal challenges; and
facilitate investment in human capital throughout the life course
The SIP emphasizes that
social innovation is vital for supporting reforms
the potential of social innovation is increased by the growing range of
innovative ICT-based solutions
for that reason, the SIP urges Member States to test new approaches
(such as ICT-enabled innovations) to support social policy reforms
8
an innovation which is social in its ends and in its means
new ideas, services and models to better address social issues
from public, private and third sector actors, to improve social services
Social innovation can play a crucial role to address societal challenges,
but:
How to address societal challenges effectively & efficiently within tight budgets?
What is the role of social investment and its relation with social policy reforms?
How to support people to ensure adequate livelihoods in a changing world?
How can innovative partnerships bring resources to complement state funding?
How to strengthen evidence-based knowledge to support social policy reforms?
…in theory
…and in practice
9
Programs and supporting schemes:
Single market act; HORIZON 2020, Program for
Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI), ESF and
other cohesion policy instruments
Some initiatives:
Social Innovation Europe, Social Business Initiative,
Microcredit facility, social innovation prize, network of
hubs, regiostars, EUseF, etc….
10
Objectives
To contribute expanding the knowledge of how ICT-enabled social innovation can support the implementation of social policy reforms and providing evidence of initiatives that are relevant for the implementation of the Social Investment Package (SIP)
Specific objectives:
1)To provide a deeper understanding of how EU Member States can make better use of ICT-enabled social innovation to implement the actions suggested by the SIP
2)To contribute building a knowledge bank on social policies as foreseen in the SIP, by providing the results of a structured analysis of ICT-enabled social innovation initiatives
3)To develop a methodological framework of analysis of the impacts generated - by ICT-enabled social innovation initiatives `promoting/embodying´ social investment
11
Research scope
Starting point:
Personal Social Services of General Interest (PSSGI)
• Special emphasis on active and healthy ageing and long-term care for older people, as one of the subsets of PSSGI
The research thus focuses on two interconnected policy areas, separated for analysis purposes:
1. Integrated approaches to the provision of social services
2. Active & healthy ageing and long-term care for older people
12
Design & approach
WP1 Mapping and analysis of relevant ICT-enabled social innovation initiatives in the EU
Review of literature, policies, theoretical approaches and level of deployment and integration of ICT-enabled service provision
Collection and documentation of relevant examples of initiatives across the EU and in countries considered to be in the vanguard in the policy areas under investigation
WP3 Thematic analysis / case studies
Analysis of the initiatives and the services provided by various stakeholders and intermediaries, from the public, private and third sectors, with a specific focus on the role and relationships among them, and their ICT-enabled social innovation potential
Gain insights from case studies in order to better understand the nature and impact of ICT-enabled social innovation in support of social investment, its drivers and barriers, determinants, and diffusion paths

WP2 Development of a methodological framework to assess the impacts generated - from micro to macro level - by ICT-enabled social innovation initiatives promoting social investment (IESI-FRAME)
to provide a framework of analysis of the initiatives collected through the Mapping activities (WP1) and as a guide to conduct the in-depth analysis of case studies (WP3)
structured approach to analyse such initiatives and provide insights for their replicability and transferability;
to serve as a framework for conducting analysis of social return on investment of initiatives, which have as key component ICT-enabled social innovation
recommendations on how the European Commission and Member States could analyse (ex-ante, in-itinere and ex-post) the impact of ICT-enabled social innovations initiatives
