The
NSI
focuses on social and organizational innovations to improve the
development and use of talent and know-how and ultimately firm performance.
NSI
believes that this can only be achieved if science, business and social
organizations join forces. By focusing research on issues that firms and other
organizations face in real life, and by studying these issues with a scientific
approach, we will be able to gather knowledge about social innovation processes
that are of direct importance to the economy.

Think tank
NSI will periodically consult with a think tank consisting of key members of the business community as well as education and governmental institutions. The aim is to identify and develop topical and relevant research questions that will play an important role in shaping NSI
research.
The second Thinktank meeting, which was held on 26 November 2009, discussed the topic Open Innovation. The presentation
of Geert Duysters can be found here.
