Policy Labs THE NEXT SOCIETY

In the framework of THE NEXT SOCIETY, ANIMA proposes to organise regular webinars until the end of 2021 to share national experiences on innovation in the Mediterranean in order to highlight mechanisms or approaches considered as "good practices" and decipher them alongside local players. INSME was in charge of identifying these practices, mobilizing actors and organizing this cycle of webinars.  
The objectives of these Policy Labs are as follows:

  • Highlight policies and practices that improve innovation and conditions of start-ups
  • Inspire and question replicability of such practices in other national contexts
  • Present at the regional level the topics and work of the advocacy panels organized nationally within the framework of TNS
  • Propose a collective discussion on one challenge highlighted by a network partner
  • Build an online content base, accessible to the TNS community on our Youtube channel
