Minister Joe O’Brien recently announced the ESF+ New Solutions Funding to support social innovation across the country.

The overall objective of New Solutions is to enhance the social innovation ecosystem in Ireland and is co-funded through the European Social Fund+ 2021-2027 (ESF+), a European initiative aimed at reducing the risk of poverty and social exclusion, with an emphasis on disadvantaged groups.

I would like to bring to your attention that the first call for applications under the New Solutions Social Innovation Fund is now open. It provides up to €2.8 million to establish a Social Innovation Hub over the lifetime of the Programme.
