The lecture series on Social Innovation continued in the second half of 2010. The BMW Foundation and the Network on Social Innovation at the Munich University of Applied Sciences again hosted a series of lectures by social innovators. The guest speakers are personalities who have put their ideas into practice and thus created social innovation.
The lecture series aims to make visible various innovations that create social added value and to initiate a dialogue about the goals and mechanisms of such approaches.

In the fall, we dealt with the topics of communication and the economy, the environment and energy, education and culture, politics and the environment, and the economy and the climate. The lectures again took place at the Oskar-von-Miller-Saal of the Munich University of Applied Sciences (directions).
