“This paper contributes to a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for Social Innovation Ecosystems in Europe. It is the result of a shared reflection about the nature, characteristics and evolution of social innovation ecosystems as an emerging phenomenon. It presents the main messages resulting from the round table panel on Ecosystems of Social Innovation that took place in Dortmund in October 2019 at the 5th Global Research Conference: Social Innovation and Socio-Digital Transformation organised by the European School of Social Innovation (ESSI).”
