It is now widely accepted in Europe that we need new approaches if we are to tackle the systemic and urgent societal challenges we face - traditional technological or business innovation alone is not sufficient. ‘Social’ must be part of the bigger innovation picture. With significant support from the European Commission, social innovation is currently well embedded in several policy agendas and funding streams. There are hundreds of social innovation centres, university research teams, accelerators and educational courses, labs, accelerators and incubators of all kinds, as well as a great number of toolkits presenting the various innovative approaches and methodologies that can be applied by students and established practitioners alike. Despite this success, the full potential of social innovation remains untapped. Different project reports and academic papers published in the past five years have pointed to several interconnected barriers hindering social innovation initiatives.

Different project reports and academic papers published in the past five years have pointed to several interconnected barriers hindering social innovation initiatives. Drawing specifically on the outcomes of three projects that members of this consortium have participated in – SI-DRIVE, SIC, and Labs for Social Innovation – we highlight the following challenges that merit critical attention: 1. Social innovation lacks access to finance, scaling models, and qualified personnel and is not applied enough. 2. Social innovators act in silos and are not integrated into the wider innovation ecosystems. 3. Social innovation toolkits are plentiful, but there is a lack of records about the tools’ effectiveness and pertinence. The CHESS project tackles the above challenges head-on by designing, implementing and testing a “Social Innovation Action manual” in four locally specific contexts

欧洲现在普遍认为，如果我们要应对我们面临的系统性和紧迫的社会挑战，我们需要新的方法-传统的技术或商业创新是不够的。“社会”必须是更大的创新图景的一部分。在欧盟委员会的大力支持下，社会创新目前已被纳入多项政策议程和资金流。有数百个社会创新中心、大学研究团队、加速器和教育课程、实验室、加速器和各种孵化器，以及大量的工具包，提供各种创新方法和方法，可供学生和资深从业者应用。尽管取得了这一成功，但社会创新的全部潜力仍未得到开发。过去五年发表的不同项目报告和学术论文指出了阻碍社会创新举措的几个相互关联的障碍。尽管取得了这一成功，但社会创新的全部潜力仍未得到开发。过去五年发表的不同项目报告和学术论文指出了阻碍社会创新举措的几个相互关联的障碍。特别是借鉴该联盟成员参与的三个项目的成果- SI-DRIVE，SIC和社会创新实验室-我们强调了以下值得重点关注的挑战：1。社会创新缺乏融资渠道、规模模型和合格人才，应用不够。2.社会创新者在孤岛中行动，没有融入更广泛的创新生态系统。3.社会创新工具包很多，但缺乏关于工具有效性和针对性的记录。国际象棋项目通过在四个当地具体情况下设计、实施和测试“社会创新行动手册”来正面应对上述挑战
