Abstract

The case studies presented here are based on the ‘Theoretically Informed Case Studies’ which have been created and published through the INNOSERV platform (Langer et al. 2013). Not only the related documents were analysed but also each involved organisation and project was visited by a team of the INNOSERV consortium; the so collected qualitative information was included in the presentations. The data compiled in 2013 were reprocessed and fundamentally reworked and updated. Moreover, the versions presented here are shorter, more elaborated and limited to information which helps to understand the innovation processes.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The social statistical data included in the case studies are based on data from the Statistical Office of the European Union (EUROSTAT), especially the statistics on income and living conditions, social inclusion statistics, social protection statistics, and the health statistics. All case studies include information as to population, at-risk-of-poverty rate, social protection rate, and the more extensive Europe 2020 indicator concerning people at risk of poverty and social exclusion. In accordance with the thematic focus of each study, further indicators are used. Source information concerning supplementary data which were not obtained from EUROSTAT but other providers of statistics, e.g. national statistical offices, are listed in the footnotes.
