  4. You can use free text when searching for interesting calls. All you need to do is to enter a phrase in the text bar that EuroAccess is to look for in its database.

    When looking for a phrase in the free text bar, the system will perform an exact-match search. This means that it will search the database for the exact words, in their exact order. However, you can opt for two different approaches:

    1. You can use “AND”, in this way: One AND Two. EuroAccess will look in the database for the fields which records contain both One and Two, regardless of their order and their position in any sentence.

    2. You can use the “OR”, in this way: One OR Two. In this case, EuroAccess will search the database for fields that contain either the word One or the word Two. It will retrieve all the fields with one of these words or with both.

    However, you should prefer phrases or complex words over simple words in you text searches.

short description

This topic has the objective to improve quality of management and organisational excellence of SMEs in the social economy. This topic aims to allow the design and to pilot capacity building, training, coaching and advisory services. The activities developed by the selected proposals should be replicable by capturing the designed services in modular blueprints. This could for example help SMEs to prepare for obtaining a quality label of organisational excellence on the market where relevant and appropriate. This topic will offer the opportunity to design support services/capacity building programmes improving organisational excellence of SMEs in the social economy (e.g. organisational performance assessment, support offer, monitoring and benchmarking). The long-term aim is to allow scaling up of these programmes developed by the supported projects to benefit more Social Economy SMEs (that are not directly supported by this topic).

Call objectives

Under this topic projects must consider all the following aspects when identifying the targeted SMEs in the social economy to be supported:

  • Sectoral activity (e.g. recycling, social services, retail, tourism, agri-food, health and care services, manufacturing, etc.).
  • Type of SMEs in social economy (e.g. social enterprises, different type of cooperatives, non-profit associations, Work Integration Social Enterprises, foundations and philanthropic organisations, social service providers, etc.).
  • Territorial dimension (e.g. SMEs in the social economy in a particular country, region(s), city/ies and social economy cluster(s) or similar territorial partnerships with social economy actors involved.
  • Degree of maturity in terms of organisational excellence of the targeted SMEs in the social economy.

Priorities envisaged by proposals submitted under this topic will focus on:

  • Using, adapting or developing a model to assess and measure the organisational performance of SMEs in the social economy and apply this to those SMEs identified within the project scope.
  • Based on the findings, remediation in terms of quality of management and organisational excellence of SMEs in the social economy through dedicated capacity building, training, coaching and advisory services. The implementation of the schemes should undergo a piloting phase for its further implementation (including benchmarking) allowing adaptation before further upscaling.
  • Promoting transferability: blueprints for replication need to be developed, based on the experience of the developed programmes for capacity building, training, coaching and advisory, which are tested in multiple contexts and ready to be used beyond the project.
  • Transnational learning: projects should have a clear cross-border learning effect and should develop support services with a transferable character (adaptable to the local context) or transnational learning component (e.g. peer learning). Therefore, projects should address the needs of target groups (SMEs and social economy support organisations) with different degrees of maturity, allowing learning effects within the consortia.

The support by the capacity building schemes can be provided through capacity building, training, coaching and advisory, accompanied with networking, matchmaking & facilitation, research and innovation support and/or product and service development and go to market services.

Although projects are free to focus on specific themes, add themes and specific modules, the following non-exhaustive themes could be included in the capacity building, training, coaching and advisory offer towards SMEs in the social economy:
