The 2026 edition of the SOCIN Conference is unique as it is being organized in collaboration between the European Reform University Alliance (ERUA) and SWPS University's Faculty of Social Sciences. Through joint forces, we are able to approach social innovation from a substantive and international perspective. Social challenges are global by nature, and therefore must be addressed from a transnational perspective.The 4th edition of the Social Innovation Conference gains a unique dimension thanks to its partnership with ERUA. This collaboration facilitates a vital exchange of expertise between European Union countries and the local social innovation community. By providing a platform for international cooperation, the conference allows practitioners, researchers, and students to pool their insights, thereby driving more effective and sustainable contributions to global social development.
