European Research Network on Philanthropy

Welcome to the ERNOP website

The European Research Network on Philanthropy (ERNOP) is an association and has been founded in January 2008 by collaborating philanthropy researchers in Europe, in order to advance, coordinate and promote excellence in philanthropic research in Europe. Currently around 250 members from 25 European countries have joined ERNOP. ERNOP is also open to non-European philanthropy researchers and practitioners. ERNOP members are represented in the most important journals related to philanthropy and has good relationships with other (global) research networks as ISTR and ARNOVA and collaborates with other global and European professional philanthropy networks.
