ICA CCR European Research Conference - 12-13 June 2025

Co-operative Identity – Who we are as a movement, a form of organization, and as co-operators?

The International Cooperative Alliance Committee on Cooperative Research Europe (ICA CCR Europe) conference will be organised in Helsinki, Finland on the 12th to 13th of June in 2025.

The aim of the conference theme is to inspire traditional as well as contemporary perspectives from which to study co-operatives and economic co-operation. Our aim is to encourage scholars to approach the main theme in diverse, versatile, and innovative ways.
