Communication Activities: EMES conducts multidisciplinary studies to understand the diversity of experiences at national levels, and the way social enterprises and third sector organisations contribute and relate to social innovation across societies with an emphasis on how the participation of communities enhances such processes. They have covered issues as varied as health and personal services, work integration, migration, the ecosocial transition, culture and the arts, etc. The most recent completed project is the “Social enterprises and their ecosystems in Europe” mapping covering 35 countries in Europe. This mapping update improves the quality of the evidence presented in 21 country reports produced in 2014 by accuracy and completeness of data and to provide further background information based on on-going and recently published research findings and illustrative examples, which have made new critical perspectives, data and information available (see: https://emes.net/research-projects/social-enterprise/eu-mapping-mapping-study-on-social-enterprise-ecosystems-update-part-2). The range of initiatives carried out by the Coordination Unit and the members of EMES covers comparative research projects, educational and training programs in dozens of universities and dissemination activities. EMES organizes bi-annual international conferences and international PhD Summer Schools that have become references in the research community. The Coordination Unit of EMES has specialized over the years in innovative forms of research dissemination and stakeholder engagement with an eye on maximizing the uptake of research findings and project concrete outputs. Indeed, EMES disseminates the results of its research projects and publications in various economic, social and political arenas and in the academic world.
