The Social Impact Award (SIA) is a competition being held in 10 European countries this year. The project was initiated by the Vienna University of Economics and Business and Impact HUB. This year, for the first time, students from Novi Sad, Niš and Belgrade have the opportunity to be part of the SIA educational workshops, but also to try their hand in the competitive part, then implement an innovatively designed solution and become entrepreneurs who will directly influence their environment. The mission of this project is the promotion of social entrepreneurship among students, along with providing a chance for young people to, if they so desire, choose to develop their career in this direction.
The Social Impact Award competition will open in mid-March, and students may apply with ideas for initiating social enterprises, with an expert jury selecting the two best ideas, and the third one to be chosen by the Internet community. Awards will be presented at a prize ceremony on 28 May and represent a starting capital to the amount of EUR 3,000, two international conferences, three months of incubation at the Impact HUB in Belgrade, and a mentorship programme implemented in cooperation with Coca Cola. After the implementation of the programme, Serbia will be richer by three new social enterprises, but also many other new social-entrepreneurship ideas ready for implementation.
