Social Innovation in Long-Term Care through Digitalization (LTC-2021)

Social Innovation in Long-Term Care through Digitalization

 2-4 November 2021 and 13-16 December 2021

The binational workshop (Germany-Italy) aims to develop social innovation in long-term care (LTC) through digitalization. In a three-day event, individual solutions will be examined and developed. The participants will present their process innovations regarding LTC (inventory) and then compare them. Digital social innovation roadmaps will be derived from individual definitions. Furthermore, innovative approaches will be elaborated in cross-national working groups and with the involvement of young scientists. Subsequently, individual concepts for traceable process evaluation and sustainability will be discussed.

The workshop is free of charge. It will be both in virtual and physical participation following the Italian Government rules (green pass is required).

Focus Topics

The workshop will focus on LTC relevant approaches with special emphasis on the following hot topics

  • Comparison of LTC processes, exchange and networking
  • Defining digital social innovation roadmaps, finding problem-oriented innovative solutions
  • Concepts for traceable process evaluation and sustainability
