Center for Social Entrepreneurship and Social InnovationRSS

The Center for Social Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation (SESI) at WU Vienna combines research and practice, taking an interdisciplinary approach to a wide range of relevant topics relating to civil society organisations and social enterprises. High academic standards are just as important to us, as close engagement with the sector. This is achieved through a balanced portfolio of activities: practice-oriented research as well as basic research, regular dialogue with the sector, and active participation in national and international research networks.
