EMES, in partnership with
Euricse and the IRIS Network,
organized the
 
2nd EMES International Conference on Social Enterprise
 
1-4 July 2009 in Trento (Italy)

This conference aimed to facilitate a fruitful exchange of views among scholars - both senior and early-stage researchers - who have recently contributed to enrich the research and debate on social enterprise and social entrepreneurship.

A multi-disciplinary approach was adopted with the goal of both carrying out an in-depth analysis of and valorizing the various contributions of the literature, from a theoretical as well as an empirical perspective. The ultimate objective of the conference is to favor a better understanding of the role of social enterprises in different contexts, in advanced as well as developing and transition countries.
