It has achieved this by establishing Social Innovation Support Units (SISU) within the Partner Countries to promote and support University-social enterprise cooperation, social entrepreneurship and graduate employability with a particular emphasis on social innovation projects, incubation and training. A range of learning and teaching tools have been developed, at a formal level through the development of doctoral and postgraduate programmes and more informally through CPD training of stakeholders in social innovation as well as through books and reports and a social innovation platform – a virtual space for sharing social innovation practices and learning outcomes (both at a regional and a local level) as well as facebook and other media. The project has established international cooperation and internationalisation through a network of SISUs across the region and beyond, introducing a training, mentoring and transfer scheme to ensure that there is an effective roll-out that extends outside the original partnership. In addition, the project has specifically involved local communities and in particular disadvantaged groups to give them access to University facilities and strengthen the ties between HEIs and their local social environment. Two HEI partners represented each Partner country (Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand), along with three social enterprise from the region (Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia) who lent their specific experience of delivering social innovation training and other initiatives. The EU Partners – three HEIs (Scotland, Portugal and Spain) and a global social innovation network (UK based) - offered a wide experience of delivering international innovation projects and embedding social innovative initiatives within their own institutions. The project partners have also created a global social innovation network with a virtual platform for users from all over the world to engage with each other, manage projects and access online tools to help support their growth in the future.
