Social Innovations Database
Welcome to the MOPACT social innovations web portal.
One of the major outputs of this research stream is a survey of social innovations and other initiatives which have a proven track record or promising potential to support active ageing and enable people to maintain health and wellbeing in old age. We undertook a global search, drawing on initiatives at a policy, community and organisational level. We collected, assessed and reviewed information about a total of 150 initiatives and the results are available here.
Browse the Social Innovations Database in three ways:
By research field – innovations relevant to specific MOPACT themes
By country – find good practice from around the globe
By AAI Domain – innovations mapped to the four domains of the Active Ageing Index
To get a taste of the database, a selection of innovations – spanning a range of countries, domains and research fields – visit the Innovations page.
Some of the MOPACT research fields have done their own work specifically examining innovations in their own area: extending working lives, social support and long-term care and the built and technological environment.
