Simplified EU support can be entrusted to CLLD in order to unleash local social capital, a rich ferment to innovative solutions for sustainable development and better social justice. Added value could be ascertained through adjusted Quality of Life indicators built and monitored with participatory development techniques.

Katalin Kolosy from AEIDL took part as a member of the scientific advisory board. In 2017, the RELOCAL researchers selected 33 locality-based/targeted case studies from all over Europe that represent different welfare regimes, rural and urban areas, disadvantaged and better-off localities and various cultural and historical contexts. Source: https://relocal.eu/case-studies/relocal-case-study-selection-map_def/ Fieldwork took place in 2018 and the first draft case study reports are becoming available in 2019. Each individual case is designed to provide a holistic picture of place-based targeted actions and their interaction with the spatial justice context. These interactions are analysed through various dimensions such as (a) promoters and inhibitors, (b) competences and capacities and (c) procedural and distributive justice. 1 Province-NUTS 2 ref PL11.

We live in troubled times and this is probably the first time ever that we need to 'intentionally change the course of the global economy in order to protect the most vulnerable and improve the life of most of us', Christina Figueres wittily observed 1. In February, the EESC and the Global Hub for the Common Good brought together a panel of stakeholders representing emerging models of the 'new economies of social innovation' in order to examine the theoretical background behind the practice. Around 150 participants, including representatives of Ouishare, Fairphone, Blablacar, and many other practitioners belonging to the functional economy, sharing economy, collaborative economy, circular economy, etc., exchanged with their peers and discussed their strategic choices and approaches under the critical eye of academia and members of the EU institutions.

In this dynamic, how can the development of 'open' digital solutions strengthen the place-based social innovation capacity and encourage the sharing of good practices and experiences between countries?
