Our aims remain consistent with the original intentions for the Society. We aim to provide an independent voluntary space where members will facilitate and share critical practice and engaged research on co-operatives & co-operation.
Our charitable objects set out in our constitution are:
To advance the education of the public concerning all aspects of the co-operative movement, and co-operative forms of structure, and in particular to assist, commission and/or identify, and to publish research into the aforementioned areas and to promote the exchange of information and experience on co-operative studies and research.
Membership of UKSCS provides opportunities to engage in and support co-operative studies, including network events, conferences, and access to the Journal of Co-operative Studies.
