This funded European initiative aims to strengthen care for the elderly by supporting social economy organizations and promoting their integration into the relevant networks.
Last summer, as part of Horizon Europe, the European funding programme dedicated to research and innovation for the period 2021-2027, the consortium led by Rennes School of Business was awarded the maximum European grant (3 million euros) for the SONYA project. Rennes SB thus became the first French business school to lead a Horizon consortium. All the partners met last month at the school’s premises in Rennes for the official launch of this major project.
The kick-off meeting of the SONYA project took place from November 18 to 20, 2024, marking the official launch of this financed European initiative. SONYA addresses critical challenges in social elderly care, aiming to empower Social Economy organisations (SEs) to foster innovation, improve working conditions, and create sustainable, inclusive services, particularly in rural areas.
