Abstract
For many years, we’ve been growing the number and variety of innovation-related buzzwords by simply attaching different adjectives/attributes to such a keyword within Economics, and Engineering. Social Innovation (SI) and its associated conceptual framework are in its infancy. There are a lot of on-going efforts focused on its theoretical development, and at the same time a growing number and variety of empirical experiments aimed at extracting its characteristics. SOCRATIC is proposing its own SI methodology to be built on top of different test-bed scenarios, and a consistent technological platform. The experience from two of such scenarios will be mapped against the state-of-the-art conceptual frameworks for briefly presenting the baseline for SOCRATIC methodology and platform in this position paper.
