The development of social innovation indicators is a pending task in the analysis of innovative processes. There are diverse perspectives that suggest the application of indicators at different measurement levels: the individualistic approach, the regional/national approach, and the organizational approach. The present working paper promotes the notion of Social Innovation Regime (SIR) with the purpose of developing an integrated perspective of the mentioned levels through a series of social innovation indicators. This perspective seeks to understand the relationship between social innovation contexts (meso level - regional level) and social innovation dynamics (micro level - organizational level). Therefore, the SIR suggests a system of indicators to explore a new way of that measuring social innovation.
