Аннотация
The course introduces students to key concepts, tools and practices in social innovation design. Emphasis is placed on the application of design thinking and human-centered approaches to solving socially relevant problems. Students learn techniques for identifying social needs, designing and prototyping solutions, and evaluating their impact. The course is based on project work and interdisciplinary interaction, which allows participants not only to master theoretical models, but also to apply them in practice in cooperation with real social partners.
Цель освоения дисциплины
- Build a rigorous conceptual understanding of social innovation, its historical development, typologies, actors, and lifecycle.
- Develop students’ ability to select context-appropriate approaches and tools for designing social innovation.
- Build competence in stakeholder engagement, co-creation, Human-Centered Design, and responsible research and innovation.
- Enable students to prototype, test, and refine social solutions rapidly, economically, and ethically.
- Develop implementation, diffusion, replication, and scaling strategies that address organizational and systemic barriers.
- Build students’ capacity to map and mobilize institutional, financial, and university-based support infrastructure.
- Strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, entrepreneurial agency, ethical judgment, and professional communication.
Планируемые результаты обучения

Элементы контроля
- Case-Based Applied TasksStudents complete short individual or team-based assignments during seminars. Tasks may include classification of social innovations, comparison of pull and push approaches, stakeholder mapping, prototype critique, journey mapping, SCALERS analysis, or infrastructure mapping. The average score across assessed tasks forms this component.
- Social Innovation Design PortfolioThe portfolio presents the progressive development of a social innovation concept. It may be completed individually or in a team, but individual contributions must be documented. Recommended length: 5,000–7,000 words excluding appendices and visual materials.
- Final Examination / Project DefenseThe final assessment consists of a structured presentation and oral defense of the portfolio or, where required by the programme, a written case-based examination covering the full course.
