(07 May 2015) – Social Innovation Europe (SIE), an initiative coordinated by AEIDL, has just published a policy paper on social innovation in manufacturing.
The policy paper ‘Making Good our Future – Exploring the New Boundaries of Open & Social Innovation in Manufacturing’ puts a spotlight on opportunities which are crystallizing at the cross roads between social innovation, open source ICT and manufacturing.
This policy paper has attempted to explore how social innovation and open source principles can inform manufacturing by enhancing productivity, creating more rewarding jobs, generating private and public value and, eventually, embedding new democratic practice at the core of industrial production.
