SIX Workshop on social enterprise- Innovation and the social entrepreneur

The Hub Rovereto in collaboration with Iris Network are organizing -WIS 2011- one of the most important and prestigious workshop on social enterprise in Italy.  Born inside the scientific community, WIS immediately became the opportunity for discussion on a larger scale. Over three hundred attendees on the last editions were not only researchers and students, but mostly operators and managers of social enterprise, representatives of third sector and public administration, representatives of the for profit enterprises and credit organizations. With the 2007 edition the Workshop has become an event that promotes the exchange between researchers and social entrepreneurs, identifying innovation as the main theme and the discussion of best practices as methodology. The event will be held, as usual, in Riva del Garda (Trento-Italy) on 15-16 September 2011 and the spotlight of the ninth edition is on the figure of the social entrepreneur and his contribution to innovation. The Hub Rovereto will run the international part of WIS trying to create connection and "cross pollination" between Social Enterprise across Europe.
