The European Social Economy Regions (ESER) Initiative was established by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs in 2018 to raise awareness about social economy at regional/local level and to build a network of social economy stakeholders. 

Today, 55 regions and municipalities from 16 European countries are part of the ESER network and form a lively community of engaged members.

The ESER Conference 2024 will take stock of recent developments in EU regions and help identify priorities that can feed into the work of the next European Commission in shaping the future EU social economy ecosystem.

To apply for membership, please see the ESER Call for Expression of Interest.
