Sponsored by MBS Research Committee, Giulia Parola, Research Associate at MBS, participated at the 11th International Social Innovation Research Conference (ISIRC)<\/a>. The conference was hosted by The Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health, Glasgow Caledonian University in September. ISIRC brought together scholars from across the globe to discuss social innovation from a variety of perspectives. The conference featured more than 300 research presentations describing studies from all over the world organized in parallel sessions and divided in different research streams.<\/p>\n

Giulia was invited to give a brief overview of her latest research paper and to discuss one of the current microfinance projects MBS is involved in (\u201cScaling trust-based partnership models to recharge youth entrepreneurship\u201d) by joining the research stream on Regional and Geographical Aspects of Social Innovation. Her talk was followed by an interesting discussion on the role of public institutions in solving pressing social issues, especially the unemployment plague in South of Europe. ISIRC gave Giulia the chance to build networks of scholars working in similar fields and corresponding projects. In the pictures below you can see Giulia during her presentation and in company of Dr. Maha Radwan, Manager of the European Journal of Islamic Finance.<\/p>\n
