Sharing Knowledge. Fostering Dialogue.

WISESHIFT will include a wide array of: scientific conferences and panels, online and in-person training sessions, stakeholder workshops and transdisciplinary fora, a final policy conference at the EU Parliament, project newsletters and social media updates.

We aim to maximize the visibility, usability, and impact of our results across Europe and beyond. In addition, we will include the most recent updates and news from the three European networks that are part of WISESHIFT: ENSIE – European Network of Social Integration Enterprises, RREUSE – Reuse and Recycling European Union Social Enterprises and SEE – Social Economy Europe​. These networks contribute their expertise and stakeholder reach to support the project’s impact, dissemination, and policy engagement efforts.
