EMES International Research Network

EMES is a research network of established university research centres and individual researchers whose goal has been so far to gradually build up a European corpus of theoretical and empirical knowledge, pluralistic in disciplines and methodologies, around the “SE” concepts: social enterprise, social entrepreneurship, social economy and solidarity economy.

EMES has existed since 1996, when an international group of scholars formed a research network that had been sponsored by the European Union. Having reached an unusual level of mutual understanding, trust and a common perspective of working together, a community of researchers sprang off from this working experience.

Formally established as a non-profit association (ASBL under Belgian law) in 2002 and named after its first research programme, on “the emergence of social enterprises in Europe” (1996-2000), EMES was originally composed of European university research centres and individual researchers. After many years of collaborative research and projects jointly conducted with researchers from other regions, EMES has decided in 2013 to open its membership to researchers from around the world.

Statistics?
More example text, yet to be edited: EMES is known as a statistical agency, as it publishes comparable statistics on a wide number of subjects.

EMES statistics are available in several forms:

Working papers?
Sample text. To be edited. There are 15 working papers series published by the various directorates of the EMES Secretariat. They are available on iLibrary, as well as on many specialised portals.

Reference works?
EMES is responsible for the EMES Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, a continuously updated document that is a de facto standard (i.e., soft law).

It has published the EMES Environmental Outlook to 2030, which shows that tackling the key environmental problems we face today—including climate change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, and the health impacts of pollution—is both achievable and affordable.

Structure
Sample text. To be edited: EMES' structure consists of three main elements:
 * The EMES member countries, each represented by a delegation led by an ambassador. Together, they form the EMES Council. Member countries act collectively through Council (and its Standing Committees) to provide direction and guidance to the work of Organisation.
