In order to allow academic debate across fields and disciplines, the conference will be structured along 15 main thematic lines.

The EMES International Research Network, in partnership with the Finnish Network on Social Enterprise (FinSERN), organised the 5th International Research Conference on Social Enterprise entitled “Building a scientific field to foster social enterprise eco-system" in July 2015 in Helsinki (Finland).

The main objective of the TSI project is to create knowledge that will further advance the contributions that the third sector and volunteering can make to the socio-economic development of Europe.
