IESI-YP PROJECT
IESI-YP PROJECT was a preparatory study commissioned by the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS), based in Seville, Spain. IPTS was one of seven European Commission research institutes. The main objective of IESI-YP PROJECT was to identify and map new innovations in using technologies (ICTs) to deliver services for the active inclusion of young people. Arcola Research produced a ‘state of the art’ review of the literature and research in this field, together with a mapping and analysis of 50 innovative policies, programmes and other initiatives that show examples of good practice in social innovation. Twelve of these examples were the subject of in-depth case studies. The results of the study fed into the European Commission’s future social inclusion policy.
