“Social Innovation Match (SIM) provides a space for organisations to showcase their social innovation projects. Upload your work to inspire others, share insights, and boost your visibility throughout the EU,” – says Andriana Sukova, Deputy Director-General at the DG for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, European Commission. “
“By validating high quality social innovations through SIM and bringing them together within a single database, we are helping to create a community across Europe dedicated to a shared mission to tackle the inequities and challenges that pervade our society,” – says Mark Majewsky Anderson, SIM EU validator. “
“Step by step, we are committed to making a significant impact by ensuring the seamless operation and continuous improvement of the SIM database. We support organisations, coordinate validators for consistent project validation, and promote the opportunities for sharing the initiatives,” – says Asta Jurgutė, Head of the Social Innovation Competence Group. “
“SIM is the crucial link for scaling up social innovation across Europe or locally, offering a valuable database of relevant projects and ensuring high quality and credibility due to dedicated work of validators,” – says Luísa Bernardes, SIM national validator from Portugal. “
“Promoting a better world is only possible when you do it in co-creation. Taking part in SIM activities is essential to allow a safe and secure growth, supported by those who can always guide and point us in the right direction,” – says Miguel Neiva, ColorADD creator. “
“Featuring our project on the SIM highlighted our successful multidisciplinary and multisectoral approach to reducing unemployment among young people with special needs, and enabled us to share our story with a broader audience,” – says Maja Zovko Stele, ‘The Youth Transition project’ representative.
