Socio-economic sustainability

CenSE values the humane and social aspect of sustainable entrepreneurship. Previously focused on sustainable HRM, employment evolution and inclusive entrepreneurship within "socioeconomic sustainability," the focus is now shifting to "social entrepreneurship." 

Driven by recognition of social impact and sustainability, CenSE explores impactful enterprises that generate both economic and social value. The cluster will analyze survival and growth mechanisms of social enterprises, including competencies, business models, collaborations and impact metrics across various types and organizations.
