Research that impacts the real world

The ERA Chair in Social Innovation at Nova School of Business and Economics is a research center funded by the European Research Agency.

Our three pillars are:

  • Research – producing high level academic knowledge and applied knowledge;
  • Education – through formal and informal teaching;
  • Community Engagement – with the Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability (DESIS) Lab.
