5th IAP-Day

The fifth IAP-Day took place at the Centre for Social Economy (HEC-ULg, Liege) on Thursday, November 27, 2014.

This event--almost half-way through the IAP-SOCENT Programme--constituted an opportunity to take stock of achievements and explore avenues for future developments of the Programme.

After a plenary session during which SOCENT researcher Simone Poledrini (University of Perugia, Italy) presented a contribution on the theme of "The place and role of reciprocity in social enterprises", most of the meeting was devoted to workshops on the SOCENT's five Thematic Lines, in which researchers were invited to take part actively.
