PARTNERS
Partnering with the European Social Network (ESN) means reaching one of your key audiences—national, regional and local agencies that manage and oversee Europe’s social services —the core members of ESN. These agencies have a significant impact on how national policy is formulated and enacted.
ESN provides access to 180 member organisations from national, regional, county and local levels, and the senior leadership of each respective social services organisation in 34 countries. Our associate members include social services professionals associations, higher education, and research organisations who participate in the collective work of our Network.
In short, ESN is the Network of Social Services Leaders in Europe.
We would like to thank the following organisations for their support
The European Social Services Conference is held within the framework of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union
