Documents for the teams of the current call

Significant changes in society are critically challenging the future of human services: As the world is rapidly transforming, life courses diversifying and life expectancy increasing, current practices and models for the care, health and support of vulnerable individuals and groups will no longer be able to cope with growing and changing demand.

Faced with these challenges, social innovation offers prospects for development and, above all, leads to concrete solutions. The Innovation Booster "Co-Designing Human Services" of the Swiss Association for the Promotion of Social Innovation offers just such opportunities for reflection and design, bringing together people from research and practice around annual themes to launch social innovations in collaboration with human services users.

Thanks to its annual innovation cycle, the Innovation Booster offers to members and beneficiairies financial support, a network of specialists throughout Switzerland as well as assistance and methodological support for the development of innovative ideas. For the period 2022-2025, the Innovation Booster benefits from a generous grant from the Swiss Innovation Agency, Innosuisse.
