The SEED2SCALE project, co-funded within the framework of the European EaSI ESF+ Social Innovation+ Initiative programme, marks a step towards the implementation of a system of National Competence Centres for Social Innovation (NCCs), with the objective of activating and/or consolidating five NCCs in Croatia, Greece, Italy, Romania and Slovenia. The project represents the natural continuation of the previous project SEED (2021–2023).

By adopting the systemic approach, SEED2SCALE implements the following actions to reach the expected outputs:

– the establishment of 5 National Competence Centers for Social Innovation with defined organisational structure, mission and governance;

– the activation of the Core Competences that each NCC should offer, through a needs assessment, the development of the Competences Portfolio and its testing, validation and consolidation through the performance of 5 pilot projects in the partner countries;

– the collaboration with an extended network of public authorities and national stakeholders in co-designing National Strategies and Action Plans for Social Innovation;

– the development and implementation of Online National Platforms as NCCs resource center hubs, meaning the online interface where information, services, resources, tools, best practices will be available and easily accessible (in national languages) for a growing audience of potential beneficiaries;

– the participation in a transnational network of organisations committed to create NCCs in all EU Member States and the development of opportunities for peer learning and transnational exchange of knowledge.
