We believe that if there are challenges, then there are those who address them, those who are looking for and proposing solutions. There are always those who are ready to take responsibility for being pioneers, innovators, leaders of change. In 2016 we conducted a unique study of leaders of innovation in education in Russia.

We took for this the "snowball" method, as a tool for constructing a social graph. To do this, we asked leaders of innovation in education three types of questions: about the project and the leader, about their goals (challenges), obstacles and needs, and about the leaders of innovations in education they can recommend.

Thus, we have built a social graph of innovation leaders in education in Russia and conducted an analysis of the social network. This will allow us to better formulate lists of people invited to various events for more effective diffusion of innovations.

We have identified what challenges the leaders face, what obstacles and what needs they have. This will help us and everyone who is familiar with the results of our research, to formulate an agenda for their events with a clearer emphasis on real requests from opinion leaders.

We have confirmed some hypotheses about the direction in which educational innovations develop.

And most importantly, we met a thousand of people who have an exciting job, who work with all their soles and warming the entire world with their energy. We believe that the community of innovators in education represents a colossal social potential for the whole of Russia and beyond.

We want to share our approach with the whole world, which has received positive feedback from the leaders of innovation in education, and the results of our research, which, in our opinion, will give a new impetus to the development of the education ecosystem.

EISC "SOL" is a non-profit organization established in 2014 and funded by Russian entrepreneurs. We strive to develop the Russian education ecosystem. We conduct research aimed at identifying leaders of educational innovations, involve representatives of the authorities, media, funds, entrepreneurs and other participants of the ecosystem, bring technologies to equip entrepreneurs with the best world practices.
