Throughout its history, EMES has contributed to creating a supportive environment where our members can thrive, both personally and professionally, while inspiring the next generations of SE scholars. We encourage debate, provide evidence, and promote a body of knowledge around “SE fields” –  social enterprise, social entrepreneurship, social economy and solidarity economy, and social innovation.

The last twenty years have been an adventure of transformation for the EMES, and we have summarized some key moments and milestones in the timeline below. Join us in supporting the network’s community-building endeavors!
