Dear colleagues,
the International Social Innovation Research Conference (ISIRC) is the world’s leading interdisciplinary social innovation research conference, bringing together scholars to discuss social innovation and social entrepreneurship
from around the world. Keynote speakers this year will be Sophie Bacq, Silvia Dorado, Matthew Grimes, Johanna Mair and Christopher Marquis.
ISIRC 2021 will be hosted by Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore – ALTIS and E4impact Foundation, 8-10 September 2021. Depending on the evolution of the pandemic, the organizing committee will decide whether to hold
the conference in presence (Milan) or online.
Under the theme “Enabling the change! Social innovation and enterprises for a better future”, the conference’s tracks are wide and diverse, connecting social innovation to other key themes such as migration, digitalization,
financing, design thinking, organizational issues, institutional factors, regional and geographic dimension, education, health and wellbeing, ageing, climate and biodiversity, or spirituality. Please visit
