SI-LIVE Asia is the first international gathering in Asia that explores the unique role higher education institutions can play in making social innovation happen.

The event will bring together social innovation academics, practitioners, changemakers and students to co-create a future agenda for social innovation, with a particular focus on the Asian context.

SI-LIVE Asia is organised as part of the Southeast Asian Social Innovation Network (SEASIN), a project funded by the European Commision, which aims to develop a regional network of universities and practitioners seeking to promote and support innovation in their communities and across the region.

Some of the themes that may be covered in the conference: Environment (e.g. Smart Cities and Green Spaces), Technology, Social Cohesion, Health, Education, Employment, Social innovation theories and practice in Southeast Asia.
