Innovation in Social Services
Across Europe, there is an intense search for new and sustainable approaches to providing welfare. Demographic change, new social risks and other factors call for new ideas to maintain and enhance the performance and quality of social services and to enable the participation of all citizens in an inclusive society. Against this background, and based on the findings of the EU research platform INNOSERV and empirically obtained research results from text and video material, this book provides insights into current approaches and practices to improve and transform social services.
Co-design and Social Innovation
Although co-design has been practised in new service and product development for some years, it has only recently begun to appear in the burgeoning field of social innovation. It appears to be well-attuned to this new context, offering as it does an open-ended relational process to generate novel solutions to problems whose very definition seems to escape more conventional approaches. However, even less research attention has been paid to co-design than to social innovation. This book explores the potential of co-design as a social innovation process. It reviews the diverse theoretical and disciplinary foundations on which co-design is based. It proposes a framework for understanding co-design as a cohesive practice across the extremely broad scope of its potential applications. It explores appropriate approaches to governance and evaluation of co-design initiatives and outlines the key issues and limitations on its use. Although it is intended to provide a robust theoretical basis for researching co-design initiatives, it will also be of interest to anyone who is contemplating putting co-design into practice.

Pränatalmedizin
Die europaweite Einführung neuer, leicht zugänglicher und nicht-invasiver pränataler Gendiagnostik führt zu unterschiedlich gelagerten Diskussionen über die Chancen und Risiken genetischer Diagnostik. In diesen Debatten herrscht in einem Punkt weitgehende Einigkeit: nicht-invasive genetische Bluttests stellen neue ethische, juristische und gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen dar. Die schnelle und kostengünstige Verfügbarkeit dieser Gentests würde dazu führen, dass jene Tests immer mehr fester Bestandteil der pränatalen Standarddiagnostik werden. Damit würden das Recht der Mutter auf Nichtwissen und ihre Selbstbestimmung beschnitten. Denn die Verfügbarkeit dieser Technik würde mi...
