A 5-year research project in Social Entrepreneurship has just received funding from the Belgian Science Policy Office. The project which will start in October 2012 will launch a partnership between four Belgian universities on the topic of “Building interdisciplinary and integrated knowledge on Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprise”. The undertaking  aims at five important issues relating to social entrepreneurship: a supply-side theory of social innovation, finance and performance measurement, HR management, governance, and public policy. CBS is proud to be one of four universities included in the project as an international partner.

The project is lead by

• Jacques Defourny from the Centre d’Economie Sociale (Université de Liège) and 
• MartheNyssens from the Centre Interdisciplinaire de Recherche Travail, Etat et Société (Université Catholique de Louvain Research Unit: Centre).
