We are pleased to announce the launch of the Professional Master Social Innovation & Management (PM SIM) program. This master's program represents a collaboration between the NGO Academy located at the Social Entrepreneurship Center, the ERSTE Foundation and the WU Executive Academy.

The program is designed to accelerate the understanding of the current core dimensions of social innovation and management. It empowers leaders in civil society, philanthropy, and the social enterprise sector as well as the nonprofit sector to elaborate and reinforce innovation and management knowledge.

The program equips an international group of participants with current state-of-the-art knowledge, methods, tools, techniques and skills to further develop their innovation and management skills at all levels.

Additionally, conversations with experienced scientists, experts, peers and coaches enable a constructive and target-oriented development of outcome-oriented and transferable knowledge. Moreover, organizationally relevant as well as civil society-related perspectives play a decisive role.

The first round of the master's program started on January 22, 2022 with 18 students from nine countries.
