CoP on Material Support
The ESF+ Community of Practice (CoP) on Material Support aims to enhance the capacity of Member States to design, manage and implement ESF+ programmes efficiently to foster social innovation across Europe. The CoP centres on three main subtopics: reducing poverty and social exclusion through material support in combination with accompanying measures, providing material support in times of crisis, and promoting innovation to address old and new challenges.
Through a variety of online and on-site events, it gathers representatives of Managing Authorities from various Member States, Implementing Organisations, Intermediate Bodies, non-governmental organisations, and other stakeholders to exchange knowledge, experiences, and best social innovation practices supporting the scaling-up and transfer. Expert speakers contribute to these events, offering insights specific to each subtopic and fostering collaboration and social innovation in addressing material support challenges.
