Avise – supporting the development of social and solidarity economy and social innovation

At the national level, Avise is an intermediate body for the ESF+ and the National Contact Point (NCP) for EaSI funds. At the European level, Avise participates in the Social Innovation+ Initiative launched by the European Commission, as the National Competence Centre for Social Innovation (NCCSI) for France and member of the European Social Innovation Community of Practice (SI CoP).

Avise has been mandated in 2021 by the European Commission to lead the National Competence Centre for Social Innovation in France, which aims at achieving the ecological and solidarity-based transition by supporting social innovation, whether driven by public, private or civil society, while strengthening cooperation between them.
