Lecture Series on Social Innovation
With its lecture series on “Social Innovation,” the BMW Foundation aims to make visible diverse innovations that create added value for society and to initiate a dialogue about the objectives and approaches of such initiatives and practices. Among others, the lecture series addresses the following questions: In which areas do we need innovations? Which initiatives pursue which goals? What is the added value for society? What has been achieved? The events are intended to help us gain a better understanding of social innovation, identify need for action, and gain insight into the variety of possibilities for implementating and realizing social innovation.
