Eurofound has launched a survey on digitalisation aimed at social economy entities across the EU.

Eurofound has launched an EU-wide study on digitalisation in the social economy across the 27 EU Member States. The survey is addressed to social economy entities throughout the EU.

This work aims to build a robust and comparative evidence base on how digital transformation is shaping governance, management, product and service delivery and employment practices within social economy organisations. The evidence supports the European Commission in its initiatives on the Social Economy Action Plan.

If you are a social economy organisation, have your say. Your response helps strengthen Europe’s understanding of the social economy’s digital needs and priorities.
