All About Certification - The Smart Campaign - Keeping Clients First in Microfinance “Certification is about financial institutions actively demonstrating their commitment to the people they serve and microfinance stakeholders working towards a more stable industry.” Isabelle Barrès, Director, the Smart Campaign You are committed to the Client Protection Principles, and you have endorsed the Smart Campaign. Now, through the Certification Program, certified institutions can demonstrate that commitment publicly. The Smart Campaign invites financial service providers who serve low-income clients to consider becoming certified. Client Protection Certification is an independent, third party evaluation to publicly recognize financial institutions that meet adequate standards of care in how they treat clients. Certification involves assessing a provider’s policies, procedures, training, marketing and operations against a set of standards derived from the Client Protection Principles. Certification Brochure

Innovate Winter Break | Social Innovation Initiative Innovate Winter Break is a "mini internship" program providing opportunities for student interns to work on engaging projects for two weeks during winter break within social enterprise and nonprofit organizations. Students will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with innovative social change organizations and companies as well as build concrete professional skills through the completion of a tangible project. We are excited to announce that for the 2014-15 academic year placements will be offered in both Boston and New York City. Additionally, all interns will be awarded a modest stipend to help offset living and travel expenses. This program is jointly administered by the Social Innovation Initiative and BrownConnect — the newest addition to CareerLAB's suite of services — working with Brown alumni to create internship and research opportunities that strengthen students' academic experiences and help prepare them for life after Brown.

MA in Social Entrepreneurship, Goldsmiths, University of London The MA in more detail The MA in Social Entrepreneurship is one of the few graduate programmes in the world dedicated entirely to the study of the fast-moving field of social entrepreneurship and innovation. It will equip you with a strong understanding of foundational theories of entrepreneurship, innovation, social problems and policy (with organisational sociology as the base discipline) while supplying practical tools in relation to entrepreneurial modelling and SROI. There is also a marked emphasis on creativity, which means that you will have considerable scope to choose the precise topics you wish to tackle and the approaches you wish to apply. Teaching on the course is interactive and seminar-driven rather than based on the traditional model of long lectures and limited discussions. What you study The programme will introduce you to key concepts in the historical development of social enterprise and innovation and to its changing role in society and the economy.

Toward an open Internet of Things In a couple of posts and articles, we’ve nibbled around the notion of standards, interoperability, and the Internet of Things (or the Internet of Everything, or the Industrial Internet, or whatever you want to call it). It’s time to say it loud and clear: we won’t build the Internet of Things without open standards. What’s important about the IoT typically isn’t what any single device can do. The magic happens when multiple devices start interacting with each other. We’re already seeing this in lighting: there are several manufacturers of smart network-enabled light bulbs, but as far as I can tell, each one is controlled by a vendor-specific app. A light bulb, even a high-tech smart LED light bulb, is a simple device. One of the defining events of the early Internet was Interop, where device makers got together to make sure their devices could interoperate. One reason the Internet works is that vendors weren’t allowed to implement protocols in a vacuum.
