Curious about the Social Impact Award but not sure where to start? Or already working on your application and looking for some structure, feedback, or simply a space to focus? The SIA Application Studio is here to support you no matter where you’re at.

Sign up here!

This format combines a short, informal introduction to the Social Impact Award program with a guided co-working session where you can actively work on your idea or application. We’ll walk you through what the program is about, you hear from past participants what to expect, and how to approach your application then you can dive in and make real progress.

What’s important to know: This session is purely a support space. It has no influence on your application or selection chances, and nothing you share or work on here will be evaluated. You can join with a fully formed idea, a rough concept or just curiosity.

During the session, you can:

• Work on your application in a supportive environment
• Get optional feedback on your idea and specific aspects of it (for example, is my idea “social enough” for SIA?) or get input on your business model idea
• Ask questions to the SIA team and get clarity on anything that’s unclear
• Connect and exchange with other participants (if you feel like it)

We know that everyone works and learns differently. That’s why this session is designed with flexibility in mind: you can choose to engage in conversations and peer exchange, or take quiet time to reflect and work on your own. Both are equally welcome.

You’ll also get to meet the people behind the program and connect with others who are considering applying. As this is an international session, you’ll gain insights into the wider SIA community and a local SIA representative will be there to answer country-specific questions.

You can join if you are residing in either of the following countries:
– Austria
– Czech Republic
– Germany
– Slovenia
– Croatia

Whether you’re just exploring or ready to apply, this is your space to think, create, ask, and move forward without pressure.

Come as you are. We’ll meet you there.
