Euclid Network is delighted to launch the 2026 edition of PeerX, our peer-learning and exchange programme designed to strengthen the capacity of Social Enterprise Support Organisations (SESOs) across Europe.
Supported by the European Union through the ESF+ Action Grant – EN Partnership 2026–2029 (Grant No. 101261614), PeerX provides Euclid Network members with the opportunity to learn directly from one another, exchange knowledge and good practices, and build meaningful partnerships that strengthen social enterprise ecosystems across Europe.
What is PeerX?
PeerX is built on a simple but powerful idea: some of the most valuable learning happens between peers facing similar challenges.
Through structured bilateral exchanges, participating organisations will have the opportunity to explore new approaches, share expertise, learn from different national contexts, and develop collaborative solutions to common challenges.
The programme aims to:
✔ Strengthen the capacity of Social Enterprise Support Organisations
✔ Facilitate cross-border collaboration and knowledge exchange
✔ Promote mutual learning between different social economy ecosystems
✔ Support innovation in the way organisations support social enterprises
✔ Generate insights and good practices that benefit the wider Euclid Network community
How Does It Work?
Selected organisations will be matched with another Euclid Network member based on thematic interests, organisational needs, and geographic diversity.
Each matched pair will jointly design their exchange, including:
- The topic or challenge they wish to explore
- The format of the exchange
- Online preparation and follow-up activities
- An in-person visit hosted by one of the partner organisations
- Joint reflections and recommendations
PeerX offers flexibility, allowing participants to tailor the experience to their specific goals while benefiting from a structured framework and support from Euclid Network.
Financial Support Available
To ensure participation is accessible to organisations across Europe, each selected partnership can receive up to €1,000 in flat-rate support, allocated as follows:
- €750 for the travelling organisation
- €250 for the hosting organisation
The funding contributes towards the costs associated with organising and participating in the exchange.
Priority will be given to organisations from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the Western Balkans (WB), and other underrepresented regions, helping ensure broad participation across the network.
Who Can Apply?
Applications are open to staff representatives of active Euclid Network member organisations based in eligible countries.
Organisations will be assessed based on:
- Financial need
- Commitment to actively participate in the exchange
- Geographic diversity considerations
