On 19th June 2024, experimental developers and mentors met at the Knowledge Center of TINLAB. At the professional event, the participants discussed the results and challenges of the past period.
In April, seven social innovators started the execution of their own social innovation projects. The important goal of the experimental development is the small-scale testing of methods or activities helping to solve the social problem targeted by the project, the examination of their applicability, and the implementation of the “city as a lab” concept. The unique program of the National Laboratory for Social Innovation is managed by HÁRFA Foundation.
At the meeting, experimental developers introduced their activities, challenges, and possibilities in connection with the program in a short presentation. Participants referred to development directions together and thought together about the connection points that the community of Social Innovation National Laboratory can offer regarding each individual project.
