The first  newsletter of the FP7 research project SIMPACT – social innovation economic foundation empowering people – in 2015 was published at the end of January. It deals amongst others with the project specific relevance of Social Innovation (SI), the policy implications of SI, and with the vulnerable people’s view on SI.
