西灣學院「社會創新研究所」，以跨領域教育為特色。院長蔡敦浩強調，社創所主要培育有助於社會創新與永續經營發展的人才，目前鎖定教育創新、地方創生、服務創新及綠能產業創新等議題，厚植研究生思考力後，再透過行動導向的跨領域課程、工作坊及產學合作，培養高度社會關懷與創意創新的能力，進而擁有前瞻科技與全球視野的國際移動力。畢業生可至國內外各種營利、非營利組織、政府單位及社會企業就業，也可自行創業。

According to the forecast by World Economic Forum (WEF), the top five out of ten core skills to thrive in the year 2020 are: complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management, and coordinating with others. The ISI will incorporate the training of these abilities into the curriculum and their application in social practice to work out effective solutions to negative phenomena in global development. People are the key element for social innovation, said Dean Tsai. The ISI was established to respond to international trends and cultivate professionals with a sense of social responsibility and a mission, able to deal with global issues.
