Description
The main objective of the Laboratory is to implement innovations that increase the well-being of society, improve the quality of life, and foster new social relations and cooperation. The initiative contributes to people-centred development in each area, so that rapid progress and results can be generated in a relatively short time. Within the framework of the Laboratory, several thematic RDI forums and professional workshops will be set up, which will contribute to the development of innovative solutions responding to social problems and needs related to technological change, and then to their testing in real-life settings, in municipalities, regions and institutions.
Main research areas:

  • The social impact of digitalisation
  • Cultural innovation and creative industries
  • Local development
  • Environmental social innovations, climate
  • Social well-being
  • Human systems (social, educational and health care)
  • Future of work, future of economy
  • Social innovation management

Benefits to be expected from laboratory research:

  • The initiative can generate rapid progress and results in a relatively short time in an area also related to the human-centred development and penetration of new technologies.
  • In the field of best practices and national frameworks, Hungary can be at the forefront of social innovation, paving the way for, among other things, preparation for the relevant themes of Horizon Europe and a much more successful national participation in the programme than in the past.
  • Improve well-being and quality of life.
  • Create new social links and cooperation.
  • Deliver innovations that not only benefit society but also empower individuals to actively participate.
  • Create a national support system for social innovation, increasing the area’s competitiveness in the European innovation space and its capacity to absorb resources.
  • Implement research strands in eight multidisciplinary areas and supports at least 40 pilot projects in the field.
  • Social Innovation Readiness Level (SIRL) system.
