What is Elanet
Our platform aims at connecting social entrepreneurs and support organizations, thereby creating a robust network that upholds and inspires.
About our Platform
The ELANET-platform has the ambition to reinforce the support of social entrepreneurs. To achieve this goal, we have joined forces in a consortium of 17 partners and 35 associated partners from various organizations and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Europe (Belgium, Bulgaria, Austria and Italy) and Latin-America (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru). The ELANET-project is initiated and coordinated by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Belgium. This platform will be structured in seven modules:
- SE cases to inspire
- SEs in need of support
- Support Partners
- Volunteers
- Tools for mentors
- Tools for SEs
- Library
