All passed the formal evaluation. This is an excellent result, underscoring the social importance and need for taking action to improve the quality of life for residents in various areas. The largest number of submissions, 64, came from legal entities, 21 from individuals, and 16 from informal groups. Sixty-two submissions (61%) were submitted in response to a specific challenge from the project’s challenge list.

The next stage is the substantive evaluation, which should be completed by April 18th. The results of the first stage of the recruitment process will be published at that time.
The recruitment for the most interesting social innovations in Silesia is being conducted as part of the Silesian Innovation Space project by the Cooperation Fund Foundation and the Centre for the Development of Social Initiatives (CRIS). This three-year project aims to engage the residents of Silesia in solving the problems they face every day and to instill in them the belief that innovation often involves simple solutions within their reach.
