Network Activities
National Partners' Networking Platform
CSR Europe has just launched an online social networking site for all individuals in the NPO Network. The site provides an online platform for partners to exchange ideas, experiences and knowledge on all aspects of CSR and more. With blogs from CSR Europe's staff and NPO Board members, the site allows for photo and file sharing as well as live chat capabilities to further exploit the knowledge and diversity of CSR available amongst this European network.

EU Funding Opportunities
CSR Europe and its national partners work together on collaborative projects with activities in several European countries.
To promote the development and implementation of collaborative projects, CSR Europe provides its national partners with information on funding opportunities available through various EU and non-EU channels. National partners can access this information through the Partners' Corner.
Pan-European Collaborative Projects
Current collaborative projects include:
- Raising CSR Awareness in Turkey: This project funded by the European Commission aims to raise the understanding of companies vis-à-vis CSR, as well as to further mainstream the concept and practice within relevant stakeholders and SMEs. The project is implemented by CSR Turkey in cooperation with CSR Europe. To read more about the project, click here.
- TRAIN4CSR: Under the Life Long Learning Leonardo Project, TRAIN4CSR aims to develop trainings for corporate trainers on specific CSR issues in an innovative and interactive manner. The project is lead by KÖVET, CSR Europe's Hungarian national partner, in cooperation with Forética (Spain), Scottish Business in the Community (Scotland), Impronta Etica (Italy), IKZSI (Hungarian Training organisation) and CSR Europe.

CSR Laboratories
A number of national partners are facilitating CSR Laboratory projects. Learn more about these Laboratories and how they contribute to the European Alliance for CSR.
National MarketPlaces on CSR
As part of a pan-European strategy on CSR, some national partner organisations are coordinating events that replicate the idea and the dynamic of CSR Europe's European MarketPlace on CSR. Read more about the best practice exchange at the national CSR MarketPlaces.
Business Networking Initiatives
CSR Europe has compiled a database of business networking initiatives undertaken by our national partner organisations since 2006.
European Cartography on CSR
In June 2006, CSR Europe, together with its national partners, launched a European Cartography on CSR. This cartography provides valuable indications on how and where in Europe CSR innovation is occurring within both business and regions, as much as on where the constraints and gaps remain in the area of CSR.
NPO Network Meetings
Three times a year the network meets in a different location hosted by one of the partners. These meetings are a good opportunity to discuss and share experiences from the different national CSR perspectives and to develop joint network projects.
National partners can access information on upcoming meeting, past meeting minutes, agendas and presentations in the Partners' Corner.
