Social Capital Gateway updated

The Social Capital Gateway has been thoroughly renewed, both in its design and contents, thank to the support by Euricse (European Research Institute on Cooperative and Social Enterprises).

Euricse’s mission is to promote knowledge development and innovation for the field of cooperatives, social enterprises and other nonprofit organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. The Institute aims to deepen the understanding of these types of organizations and their impact on economic and social development, fostering their growth and assisting them to work more effectively.
