Klaus Schuch Business and Research Manager at the CSI Adviser to Austrian Ministries (Foreign Affairs; Education, Science and Culture, Economic Affairs) Consultant in several European Networks (incl. ‘enlargement’) Anette Scoppetta Head of Unit for Work and Equal Opportunities at CSI Head of Co-ordination Unit for Austrian TEPs and Local Employment Initiatives (on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour) Expert for national and European labour market issues
Objectives This presentation aims to present good practice in linking labour market policies and measures to personal needs to discuss the adoption of regional employment partnerships in an enlarged Europe to recommend an instrument to ensure knowledge transfer in an enlarged Europe
The Bridging Problem Social Innovation is the engine for the development of a society. Lack of Social Innovation means societal deadlock, dominant technological approaches and difficulties concerning organisational changes. In order to improve the fabric of information and knowledge based societies the immanent potential of technological feasibility, organisational shaping and social needs have to be explored, combined and developed. This bridging problem occurs on different levels (European, national, regional).

From Individual Cases to an European Dimension to avoid double-track activities to prevent inventing the wheel again and again to lower the entry barriers by lowering the transaction costs to secure a high level of expertise transfer and knowledge development throughout an enlarged Europe
Final Conclusion Local activities work already, but without co-ordination and exchange of experiences National authorities are focused on national problems International co-ordination and competence building as well as transfer of practical experience is needed (operational level)
