„How to enhance philanthropic impact through social investment” Session proposed by The New Eurasia Foundation at EFCs 18 th Annual General Assembly and Conference „The New Challenges for Global Philanthropy“ Madrid, June 1 st – June 3 rd, 2007 Building effective collaboration for sustainable development. Experiences from Austria concerning South-East Europe (SEE) Josef Hochgerner Zentrum für Soziale Innovation

DEFINITIONS SOCIAL INNOVATION Methods, procedures, solutions that work to better deal with known or new issues of social relevance Does not necessarily require financial assets SOCIAL INVESTMENT “Investment with social as well as financial return” (effect, vol.1/1) This may become real even for “in kind” contributions (efforts asserted by volunteers) MONITORING, EVALUATION and IMPACT ASSESSMENT: Dispersed knowledge, lack of international standards, no codified tool-boxes Results based approaches (measurement of quantifiable output indicators) vs. Systems approaches (inter-active learning, concensus on improvements re. agreed and shared objectives (takes into account „ownership“ and processes) Growing demand for impact analysis signifies importance of social development

TRENDS Three new challenges for global philanthropy  Emergence of a bio-based knowledge economy in the information society  In the 21st century efficiency of resources will top labour efficiency  The internationalisation of research and of funding for social development  Increasing demand for matching funds (PPP between the public and 3 rd sector)  Research and Philanthropic Foundations are „natural allies“  Diversification of services required on either sides  Process monitoring and impact assessment become additional requirements

Why „South-East Europe“ *) ?  Historic and cultural neighbourhood  The most needy region of Europe concerning peace making by economic and social development  To open up a European perspective Incomplete selection of public funding schemes available to SEE  By the European Union  The CARDS programme (cohesion funds)  The 6 th /7 th Framework Programme for Research and Technology Development  By Austrian government sources  Development aid East  Austrian Science and Research Liaison Offices (ASO) in Ljubljana and Sofia EXAMPLES CONCERNING INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH POLICIES AND DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH-EAST EUROPE *) Addressing a group of countries including the two new (2007) MS Bulgaria and Romania; plus the so- called Western-Balkan Countries Albania, Bosnia & H., Croatia, FYROM, Montenegro, Serbia (Kosovo)

AUSTRIAN FUNDS AND MEASURES FOR SEE Example 1: Development aid East – some figures and focus Government funds (2002)Total 353 mio € (0.14% GDP, DK: 0.14, NL 0.10) Therof largest sector: 72 mio € Social infrastructure of which 56 mio €Education and training 8 mio €Public sector and civil society (IB, CB) Method of spending: Example 2: ASO – Moving from bi-lateral to multi-lateral collaboration Making impact with small project funds by initiating or complementing trans-border collaboration Applicant = Beneficiary AT Government Various Ministries Agency [ZSI] Public tender Winner 8 Services 7 Contract 1 Proposal2 Request to evaluate 3 Proposal evaluation 4 Report 5 6 Reporting results 9 Monitoring the progress of the project 10 Final Monitoring Report and Recommendations

EU SEE-ERA.NET PROJECT: INTERMEDIATE RESULTS Example 3: Creating a funding scheme between national and EU levels, addressing specific research tasks relevant to the region The project runs from 2005 until 2009www.see-era.net Major milestone achieved in Nov. 2006: Pilot joint call for proposals with the participation of 11 of the 15 participating countries Setting up the Regional Research Programme SEE (ReP-SEE) Scope of funding of research Collaborative Research Projects in the region Preparatory grant for Collaborative Research Projects (EU programmes) Docking grants for Collaborative Research Projects (EU programmes) Accompanying measures Support better ground for joint RTD (capacity building, policy/reg. dev. …) Young Scientists programme (mobility and return/integration fellowships) Innovation programme (linking SMEs, technology and other innovation centres,...)

TRANS-DISCIPLINARY SCIENCE The classic notion of science in the Industrial Society: „Science, Mode 1“ *)  Ideas, theories, methods, norms codified in departments („depart-mentality“)  Powered and controlled mainly by scientific communities  Organised and regulated by standards established within borders of disciplines  Discoveries preceed development and implementation Science in the knowledge based Information Society: „Science, Mode 2“ *)  Production of knowledge, problem driven research across disciplines  Decreasing control of scientific communities concerning RTDI-processes  Increasing relevance of stakeholders and users (Science-Society relations, PuS,...)  Practitioners and other professional experts become involved („open innovation“) _________________ *) Michael Gibbons, Helga Nowotny et al., 1994: The New Production of Knowledge. The Dynamics of Science and Research in Contemporary Societies; Sage, London... is there social investment in science as well? Social innovation is going on in science...

OPTIONS FOR PPP IN THE „RESEARCH–APPLICATION–SLALOM“ Time Knowledge diffusion Knowledge generation Knowledge utilisation Research Advice Research Education Advice Advice, network co-ordination Research Educatio n Training Campaignin gLobbying Ownership Lobbyin g START: Identification of an issue or a „knowledge gap“ e.g. „self-employment of migrants“ Project and programme monitoring, evaluation, impact assessment Funds for education, research, advisory services, campaigning etc. may be provided by public authorities as well as private foundations

IMPACT ASSESSMENT Lessons learned regarding impact and sustainability ►Ownership of the beneficiary: The indispensible requisite ►Continuity and matching funds are crucial ►Independent process monitoring is required ►Comparative analysis of programmes and of project results ►Networking among donors, exchange of experience ►Ultimate potential of collaboration: ►Identification of development paths in mutual interest ►Co-ordinated time planning and shared investment along the „slalom course“
