The European Commission's Directorate-General (DG) for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs is calling for any public regional entities with a link to social economy to submit a proposal to organise a regional event as part of the European Social Economy Regions 2018 pilot. The pilot aims to build effective networks of social economy and social innovation stakeholders and raise awareness about the social economy at regional and local level.  The deadline for expression of interest has been extended to 15th March 2018. The outcomes of the regional pilots will be presented at October's Global Social Economy Forum in Bilbao and at the Committee of the Regions Open Days in Brussels.  More information on the pilot, selection criteria, and support offered are available here.
