“…Funding bodies that provide money to socially innovative initiatives, or society as a whole, now want to know exactly what has changed with the money spent [65] (p. 443). In this context, there are now calls for social impact measurement [65] or social innovation measurement [66].…”

“…There is consensus that measuring impact should ideally be guided by shared principles and some basic measurements and indicators [69]. To date, however, there are no generally accepted standards, procedures or indicators ( [65] (p. 434) and [66] (p. 438)). Experts are aware that standardisations can hardly do justice to all the differences in types of problems, types of actors (e.g., individuals, groups of actors, governance arrangements, organisations, social enterprises), types of actions, target groups and socio-spatial contexts of social innovations.…”

“…It is also clear that a good impact measurement should include the perspectives of all relevant stakeholders. However, this also means that the results of the measurement are highly dependent on these perspectives ( [65] (p. 434f) and [66] (p. 440)).…”

In many (remote) rural areas of Europe and the world, rural communities are facing various challenges. One response is residents leaving their communities. However, there are also many empirical examples of residents staying, launching project initiatives, developing new solutions and experimenting with new practices. This is what we call social innovation. What experiences do actors have in these processes? Can we speak of empowerment? To what extent can such initiatives have an impact on community development? In this article, we explore these questions, for which there is little related empirical research. By applying a multi-sited individualising comparison to case studies in three European countries (Germany, Ireland and Portugal), we obtain empirical evidence of the following dimensions of empowerment that Avelino et al. outline conceptually: the achievement of autonomy, competence and relatedness and also impact, meaning and resilience. Often, however, it is not the individual actors for whom such effects can be reported. Rather, the social initiative as such or the local administration has acquired new skills and autonomy. Regarding community development, ‘pathways to impact’, such as infrastructure improvements and/or the creation of new employment opportunities and/or the influx of new residents, could be identified. However, this development often depended on both opportunity and the cooperation and goodwill of many stakeholders.

“…However, despite being a defining feature, what counts as change and how much of it is necessary to be an innovation is also not straightforward. Several commentaries on SI classify different levels of divergence, often relating to the scale of operation or degree of impact rather than originality per se (e.g., Terstriep and Kleverbeck, 2018). For example, Van Gestel and Grotenbreg (2021: 251) distinguish between 'wide' and 'small' innovation, reflecting on the extent of transformational disruption involved.…”

Internationally there are different requirements for measuring and monitoring health care practice and cross-border clinical placement. However, the quality of the clinical training settings has a significant impact on student experience and knowledge and eventually on the quality of the healthcare services. HealINT4ALL funded by the European Union aims to develop a global prepared health workforce regardless of cultural, political or educational context. Despite the great diversity due to the different needs, resources, regulations etc., there is a clear need for harmonised minimum training requirements especially for healthcare professions and from those benefiting from automatic recognition across the EU such as doctors, nurses and midwives, as reflected by the EU Directive (2013/55/EU). In offering international mobility, universities must ensure that learning environment standards are ethical and commensurate with their own quality assurance processes. For medical professions, demonstrating the quality of clinical practice internationally can be a challenging task. The project will innovatively adapt the newly established audit protocol and support tools to suit the needs of higher education for wider application in learning environments in medical-related professionals. The participatory co-creation methodology involving end-users in workshops to ensure alignment of the digital content with the learning needs of the students is essential to facilitate consistency and assure confidence for all stakeholders in the audit process and its outcomes. In order to facilitate quality assurance, consistency and raise standards of care, a digital interactive audit platform, supported by access to a central database is incrementally developed. The triangulation of the evidence obtained from the mapping exercise of the participating countries, provided the basis for the development of the first part of the digital audit platform.
