Pomoc publiczna na innowacje społeczne w Unii Europejskiej – perspektywa makroekonomiczna
Public aid for social innovations in the European Union – macroeconomic perspective

Summary/Abstract: Social innovations are meant to address the needs of society and as such they are a part of the socio-economic development. The purpose of the chapter is to analyse EU funded initiatives, intended for social innovation growth within the European Union. The authors conducted a literature research and analysis of existing solutions using the desk research method. We established that the issues of social innovation are increasingly the subject of scientific research as well as the subject of interest of decision-makers. This is reflected in the activities of the EU institutions. The scope and value of programs aimed at supporting such innovations are increasing. The chapter outcomes contribute to economic policy studies, particularly regarding public aid, as well as extends the scope of literature dedicated to social innovation.
