Our principal activities in 2015 and 2016 so far were spread across 4 themes: social innovation; social entrepreneurship; research & development and leadership.

Social Innovation in Europe
- Social Innovation Europe is an official European Commission website run by a partnership of Euclid Network and Social Innovation Exchange (SIX). Euclid animated and managed this interactive web-based networking and resource "hub" which includes an underlying searchable database.
- Innovative Social Investment is a European-funded research project that explores the potential of Social Investment in social welfare policy, mapping innovative ways to implement and finance social welfare that promise lasting benefits for society. Through evidence-based research, InnoSI will present a case to policy-makers at local, national and international level for Social Investment in social welfare. InnoSI includes ten Impact Partners that act as knowledge brokers to take research findings and translate them into policy-relevant material with which to engage policy-makers.

Social entrepreneurship in Europe
- Euclid Network is in its sixth year of leading a Europe-wide consortium (Social Entrepreneur Exchange & Development) which facilitates placements of new/emerging social entrepreneurs with experienced social entrepreneurs, funded by the European Commission (Erasmus for young entrepreneurs programme).
- Erasmus MED is a project that was launched in February 2014 and aims to expand opportunities for exchanges among social entrepreneurs to the Mediterranean countries.

Civil society engagement in research & development
- Responsible Industry is a project launched in February 2014 that aims to investigate civil society engagement in research & development in the area of ICT for ageing, health and well-being.

Leadership in civil society
Euclid leadership network connects organisations sharing similar values and challenges across Europe. It allows members to work collectively in addressing key issues affecting the sector and create peer-learning, training and job-shadowing initiatives.

Further, Euclid Network works together with national government and international institutions in order to have social innovation and social enterprise at the core of the European agenda.
Euclid Network runs a number of communication and dissemination activities including, the e-newsletter, website, google groups, Euclid Network TV. Euclid Network is also very active on social media and with journalists at local, national and international level.
