The Forum for Social Innovation Sweden is a national knowledge and collaboration platform for social innovation and social enterprise in Sweden, based at five universities from north to south. We monitor the social innovation field, and collect, develop, and share research-based knowledge. We also catalyse, facilitate and co-create cross-sectoral collaborations, through different methods and processes.
