This year, the Price Center’s annual summit will take place on April 3, 2020. The event, titled Social Innovation Summit: Building the Field in 2020, will discuss the current landscape of the field of social innovation, focusing on emerging areas of theoretical and empirical work. Participants will share and discuss research papers organized into four topics: social movements, social entrepreneurship, sectors and systems, and financing social innovation. Each session will explore common threads across these areas, illuminating new and emerging areas of scholarship for the field of social innovation.

The Price Center encourages students, scholars, and educators from all disciplines to submit paper proposals for the Social Innovation Summit. Individual paper proposals should include an extended abstract (5 pages) with the title of the paper, name, institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and phone number. Full papers are also welcome. Paper proposals will be accepted until November 30, 2019. Submissions can be emailed to Caroline Bhalla (cbhalla@usc.edu), Managing Director of the Price Center for Social Innovation.
