The efforts to develop a cross-field discourse are increasing, as are the differentiation of the field that has taken place, to give the term a more theoretical foundation as an analytical concept with a clearly defined object of investigation and related epistemological interest. After a long period of almost non-existent or largely neglected conceptual and theoretical debate, contours of an autonomous scientific field (Fagerberg and Verspagen, 2009) are becoming visible, based on a common research object, a shared knowledge base and a working communication structure.<\/p>\n<p>For long it has been discussed whether one can even talk about an academic field of research, but these days it continues on its road towards institutionalization. Next to networks such as the European School of Social Innovation (ESSI) and the International Social Innovation Research Conference (ISIRC), many European and nationally funded projects focusing on social innovations in different policy domains, there are also academic journals such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/epsir.net\/\">EPSIR<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/revistas.ufpr.br\/novation\">NOvation<\/a> becoming more established.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3033\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3033\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.essi-net.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/encyclopedia_si.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3033 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.essi-net.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/encyclopedia_si.jpg\" alt=\"Cover of the encyclopedia of social innovation (copyright: Edward Elgar Publishing)\" width=\"250\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.essi-net.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/encyclopedia_si.jpg 566w, https:\/\/www.essi-net.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/encyclopedia_si-197x300.jpg 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3033\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(c) Edward Elgar Publishing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On 19 November 2024, ESSI took the <strong>publication of the \u2018Encyclopedia of Social Innovation\u2019,<\/strong> <strong>edited by J\u00fcrgen Howaldt and Christoph Kaletka <\/strong>as an opportunity to discuss the development of the scientific field.
