A. METHODOLOGY 1 METHODOLOGY AND DESIGN 1.1 SI-DRIVE METHODOLOGY The SI-DRIVE methodology is constructed as an iterative research process characterised by two empirical phases based on and feeding the three central research pillars of SI-DRIVE: theory, methodology and policy. Starting with a first theoretical, methodological and policy and foresight framework the empirical phase 1 led to a global mapping of Social Innovation: comparative analysis of 1.005 cases worldwide, seven policy field reports, global regional report, external database screening, and eight first policy and foresight workshops. These results led to the improvement of the three pillars and set the ground for the second empirical phase: the in-depth case studies, which results will be presented her and in a reporting of each of the seven policy fields of SI-DRIVE. Finally, the results of both empirical phases will lead to a summarizing comparative analysis in each of the policy field and to the final theoretical framework, the final methodology and the final policy and foresight recommendations of SI-DRIVE. Thus, the chosen
