The second edition of the Canadian Forum on Social Innovation will take place at Université de Montréal on June 11-12, 2024! This event builds on the dialogue and success of the Canadian Forum on Innovation and Social Impact that CSPC and The/La Collaborative hosted in 2022.
This joint initiative of Canadian Science Policy Centre and The/La Collaborative will convene stakeholders across sectors to identify key actions and best-practices for capacity building and skills development in the social innovation ecosystem. Building on emerging consensus, the program will alternate between participatory plenary roundtables and deliberative workshops to establish a shared vision for Canada’s social innovation strategy. The genuinely cross-sectoral setting will provide an opportunity to learn from a variety of perspectives in an effort to reduce barriers to knowledge-driven collaboration to advance social impact and techno-social transitions.
On 11 and 12 June 2024 in Montreal, Forum guests will participate in an immersive backcasting exercises aiming at creating a roadmap for Canada’s innovation ecosystem with the aim to formulate an agenda for Canada 2040 that revolves around collective action to increase talent and expertise for the social impact ecosystem and techno-social transitions.
