The European Commission is launching a European Social Innovation competition as a means to combat unemployment across the continent. The competition offers a prize to social innovations that have a real impact on helping more people move towards work or into new types of work. The three best proposals will each be awarded with a prize of €20,000 in May 2013. A second prize competition will be launched in 2014.
