About this Research Topic:

This Research Topic will focus on both strengths and weaknesses of social
innovation, technological innovation, and health innovation that are
increasingly recognized as crucial concepts related to the formulation of
responses to the social, health, and environmental challenges.

Goals of this Research Topic: (1) to identify and share the best recent
practices and innovations related to social, environmental and health policies;
(2) to debate on relevant governance modes, management tools as well as
evaluation and impact assessment techniques; (3) to discuss dilemmas in the
fields of management, financing, designing, implementing, testing, and
maintaining the sustainability of innovative models of delivering social,
health and care services; and (4) to recognize and analyze social,
technological and health innovation that has emerged or has been scaled-up to
respond to crisis situations, for example, a pandemic of the COVID-19
coronavirus disease.

This Research Topic welcomes papers that will provide both theoretical and
empirical findings. Potential issues include, but are not limited to:

- Innovative, co-design, co-creation, and co-production schemes based on diversity
of policy ideas in the areas of the social policy, environmental policy, and
health policy.

- Disruptions and challenges for integrated public policies and programs on
social, environmental and health issues related to delivering social, health, and
care services.

- Governance, public management, and organizational management related
issues including multilevel, multistakeholder, and multisectoral approaches to
healthy and age-friendly environments, cities, and communities.

- Opportunities, criticism, and ethical controversies related to digital
social innovation, e-health, plant-based innovation, food innovation, AI, ICT,
and 3D solutions, social and service robotics, smart environments,
gerontechnology, and welfare technology.

- The ideas that are relevant for the social policy, environmental policy,
and health policy related to concepts such as the silver economy, longevity
economy, social economy, circular economy, green economy, and sharing economy.

We welcome researchers from areas such as sociology, psychology, public
policy, economics, management, public health, communication, environmental
science, geography, and urban science. Reviews and papers on philosophical and
ethical issues are also welcome.
