What is SI4SD?

SI4SD | The Role and performance of socially innovative multi-actor collaborations is the research project started by Clara Medina G in September 2018, aimed at understanding and promoting Social Innovation to achieve Sustainable Development, focusing on the role that different urban actors, including local administrations, can play in this process and how they collaborate to achieve it.

In November 2019 the project officially evolved into a joint PhD hosted at KU Leuven and UCM Universities, funded as an FWO Fellowship awarded to Clara.
