ECSB Social Entrepreneurship Special Interest Group (SE SIG) was launched in 2010 with the aim of developing research on social entrepreneurship among the community of European entrepreneurship and small business scholars.

- Discuss interesting future research avenues on social entrepreneurship with scholars at all levels (PhD candidates, post-doc, junior and senior faculty)
- Recognize particular issues to which the unique context of social entrepreneurship can bring innovative insights
- Foster research that contributes to advancement of both theory and practice of social entrepreneurship with a variety of methods and rationales
- Share relevant resources including latest published research, working papers, and information on forthcoming conferences on the topic
- Serve as a place of gathering for social entrepreneurship scholars eager to learn more about their peers’ research
- Build a strong research core within the European community to finally bridge and exchange with scholars from other parts of the world
