In cooperation with international partners the University of Pannonia – Faculty of Business and Economics organises the I-SICS International Social Innovation Competition. The regional round of the competition was organised on 27 May 2016 at the University of Pannonia.
The I-SICS project aims to raise the awareness of university students to the most important problems of their regions, and urge them to think in a socially responsible way, so that they can become effective and committed activists of their homelands.
On the regional competition the students presented their ideas in the topic of social innovation. These concepts are up-to-date, useful and satisfy needs of society and establish new social cooperation. A lot of deeply interesting ideas were presented on the competition, for example:
- Workplace for people with reduced capacity to work
- Positive Psychology Empowering Youth Education
- Training program for entrants and elders over the age of 50
- Career counselling service
- Job seeking support service
- Enterprise specialized to bioproduction
