Networks for social innovation : devoting "learning spaces" to social aims (paper presented at 11th International Forum on Knowledge Asset Dynamics (IFKAD), Towards a New Architecture of Knowledge : Big Data, Culture and Creativity, Dresden, Germany 15-17 June 2016)

This paper aims to investigate characteristics and the role that social networks have in the rise of social innovation. In doing this, the authors also examine the way social innovators focus on social aims, as well as how the set of relationships they establish may turn, over time, be a locus for knowledge creation and diffusion, allowing the emergence of so-called Networks for Social Innovation (NfSI).
