Mednarodni projekti

Na mednarodni ravni v največji meri sodelujemo v raziskovalni mreži ENSR - European Network for SME Research, ki jo tvorijo neodvisni raziskovalni inštituti s področja podjetništva v članicah EU. Naš inštitut je predstavnik Slovenije. Mreža se je oblikovala leta 1990 zaradi izjemnega pomena malih in srednje velikih podjetij in nujnosti bolj temeljitega vpogleda v njihovo vlogo, značilnosti in delovanje. V okviru mreže smo samo v zadnjih letih sodelovali v naslednjih projektih, izvedenih za Evropsko komisijo:
