In general, any topic about social entrepreneurship and solidarity economy might be
interesting, and propositions are welcome.
Some ideas might be:
 In-depth case studies of various actors in the Canton de Vaud (e.g., Mobility, proximity
agriculture, fair-trade milk at Riponne market, organizations combining social objectives
(e.g., inserting people back in 'traditional work market) with economic activity…)
 Social entrepreneurship in European countries: Comparison of key actors and public
policies
 Marketing in Social Enterprise: Does it fit with their 'corporate image'? Do they want it?
Do they believe in it? Do consumers want it?
 More theoretical development: A lot of topics can be developed from a theoretical
perspective regarding social enterprise, solidarity economy, and people's desire to find new
meaning in their work and consumption styles.
