Leading the Way in Policy Innovation
PARADIGMA INNOVATION is an SME dedicated to providing policy recommendations, Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) studies and gender analysis tailored to European research and innovation projects.
We believe that evidence-based policies and gender-inclusive mainstreaming are essential for ensuring equal opportunities and treatment, while also fostering diversity, innovation, and societal impact. With the incorporation of SSH studies, we strengthen our capacity to support multidisciplinary projects that require in-depth understanding of social and cultural dimensions.
Our services are designed to help EU-funded projects to meet the highest standards of quality, inclusiveness, and societal relevance in their work contributing to a safer, fairer, and more democratic European Union.
