Boosting Social and Community Entrepreneurship for the Transition to a Inclusive and Sustainable Society (SCENTISS) 01.01.2023 to 30.06.2027
General project description

Social and community-driven entrepreneurs (SCEs) identify neglected societal problems and provide innovative solutions. But SCEs struggle with scaling up their initiatives to achieve full potential. Multiple stakeholders add to complexity and dominant actors present barriers for scaling. This is where comes in.

 

The Scentiss research project puts together a unique multidisciplinary consortium of academic researchers, SCEs and stakeholders to tackle these challenges. Our overall goal is to develop new knowledge that boosts scaling up of social entrepreneurship and its innovative solutions, based on collaborative learning processes and novel tools. Central to Scentiss is a set of focusing on the energy transition and local care. We translate our findings into viable, actionable strategies via scalable, bottom-up SCE initiatives and develop a learning track for professionals.
