The tasks included in Work Package 4 relate to the selection, research and investigation into two in-depth case studies in each of the participating countries in the InnoSi project. These case studies have been chosen to highlight examples of social investment that can provide insights into how the state can effectively interact with sections of society, either as best practice cases that can be extrapolated to other contexts or as indicators of the way forward to influence policy decisions on the part of public administrations.
