With more than four decades of experience, Fundación Santa María la Real can offer expertise in social innovation, applied research, employability programmes, youth activation, active ageing, digital and remote support methodologies, social experimentation, impact evaluation and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The organisation has extensive experience in designing and implementing national and European projects, building collaborative ecosystems and facilitating knowledge transfer between public authorities, academia, civil society and the private sector.
Fundación Santa María la Real aims to strengthen the connection between social innovation practice, evidence generation and public policy development. By fostering international partnerships and thematic networks, the organisation contributes to the transfer, adaptation and scaling of effective social innovations across Europe.

Fundación Santa María la Real seeks partnerships with organisations, public authorities, research institutions, social enterprises and networks committed to addressing social challenges through innovation, collaboration and evidence-based approaches. We are particularly interested in partners working in employment, social inclusion, gender equality, youth empowerment, active ageing, digital transformation, lifelong learning and territorial development, as well as organisations interested in testing, scaling and transferring innovative solutions across different contexts.
The Foundation actively promotes thematic collaboration networks that bring together stakeholders working with different target groups, including women, young people and older adults. Through initiatives such as Plena Emplea, Innovacción Juvenil and Red Salvia, we welcome organisations interested in joining international communities of practice, exchanging knowledge, sharing good practices and contributing to the co-creation of innovative responses to common social challenges.
