Mediterranean Open REsourCes for Social Innovation of SocialLly ReponsIve ENTerprises. Framework of activities related to the use of Mediterranean open resources for the innovation of socially responsible enterprises.

PRESENTATION AND OBJECTIVES

+ RESILIENT brings together a 4-helix consortium of 8 MED countries to address the need for innovation leading to greater socially responsible competitiveness of SMEs and stimulating new jobs, especially for companies operating in the social economy.

Its objective is to promote a process of policy change at the regional level in the areas involved, which will result in the integration of successful elements in the new cohesion policy (EU2020+).

The overall objective is to positively influence, adapt / change the different structural elements of the policy governing “socially responsive and responsive clusters” (SVRC) by leveraging technology-led innovation dynamics, open data and successful models with social relevance and impact, creating socially responsive value chains at a transnational level.

SVRCs are usually codified only at the local level, so the project addresses the transnational dimension as a networking and capacity building approach to achieve critical mass, increase horizontal opportunities for SMEs, mobility, employability and expand cohesion policy and funds.

It is an integrated project that establishes a structural approach for the improvement of policies and practices of emerging dynamics in social innovation through a global process based on the intertwined use of open data and the creation of a socially sensitive transnational value chain. This includes the study of existing initiatives, adaptation and testing, with the ultimate goal of capitalizing on them in the MED area.
