Author Description

The question of the sustainability of different European welfare states is currently in discussion. There is a strong need for new innovative ideas that can preserve or even increase the capability of social services. Considering this, one of the core goals is an inclusive society, which gives every person the same chance to participate. So how do social innovations look like in practice? What are the most important drivers for innovations and to what extent do framework conditions matter? This book presents empirical research results from all over Europe based on text and video material and answers the question of innovations in social services.
