In 2022, our department co-organized the Euro-Asian Forum for Social Entrepreneurship. The event brought together social entrepreneurs, experts in the field, social policy makers, academics, and representatives of organizations supporting social enterprises. The conference created a unique platform for dialogue and experience-sharing across two continents.
Participants had the opportunity to learn about the stories of successful social enterprises, their marketing strategies and specific situations of social entrepreneurship in different countries. They also discussed how social entrepreneurship can contribute to solving societal challenges and raised important questions about legislation and state support for social enterprises.
