The FESSUD Project runs for 5 years from 01/12/2011 to 30/11/16 and aims to affect policy makers, representatives of the business sector, the social economy sector, the civil society sector, researchers and citizens based in different EU member states and beyond.

The FESSUD project is made up of a team of economists and other social scientists from across Europe and South Africa, working at 14 leading universities and one European non-government organisation.
