INVITATION to publish a ZSI Dissussion Paper based on presentations of contributors to the conference Social Innovation 2015.

If considering to follow the invitation please find here the Guidelines and procedures, and a Template to be used (word.doc) - or under "Attachments", below.

A cautious hint to utilise this possiblity of a low level (pre-review) format of publishing:

  • You may use this discussion paper to develop and revise it perhaps to publish an improved version somewhere else.
  • (Just) in case we receive a sufficent number of quality papers we, organisers, think of possibly publish an antology

I will be supervisor and contact person of such publications.
