ICA CCR EUROPEAN RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2022

Rethinking co-operatives: From local to global and from the past to the future

13-15 July 2022, Athens Greece

 Organizer and local partners

The ICA CCR European Research Conference 2022 will be held in Athens, from the 13th until the 15th of July at the Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences.

The conference is organized by the ICA CCR Europe Research Board and hosted with the support of four Universities, two National Research Centers and an educational cooperative, which bring together academics and researchers working on Co-operatives in Greece.

Main theme and suggested topics

The Blueprint for a Co-operative Decade of the ICA sets out a strategy plan with a number of ambitious goals to be achieved. The latter highlights -in many instances- the importance of safeguarding the cooperative identity, as well as encouraging the cooperation between cooperatives. Nevertheless, as we are approaching the end of the Co-operative Decade, how to maintain a common cooperative identity which is inclusive to both traditional and emerging cooperatives, while strengthening their network capacities in local, regional, and global level, still remains an open question. To address the aforementioned challenges, new strategic visions for cooperatives need to be explored and debated.

For this reason, following the main theme of the Paris Conference in 2021 on “Cooperatives in transition facing crisis”, the 2022 ICA CCR European Research Conference has as its main theme: Rethinking cooperatives: From local to global and from the past to the future”. Weinvite scholars, practitioners and policy makers to reflect critically upon the evolution of the cooperative model over the years, the challenges that it has successfully addressed and those that remain unanswered, as well as the need to both evolve and adapt to new conditions, while maintaining a common cooperative identity.

Based on the above perspective, the conference aims to address a wide range of topics of the cooperative movement’s development through time and location from different scientific fields and traditions, including – among others:

                    Agricultural cooperatives

                    Consumer cooperatives

                    Cooperative governance

                    Cooperative law and public policies

                    Cooperative management

                    Cooperative networks and territorial and rural development

                    Cooperative resilience and sustainability

                    Cooperatives and climate change

                    Cooperatives and social and solidarity economy

                    Cooperatives and sustainable development goals

                    Cooperatives and the commons

                    Emerging types of cooperatives (e.g., cooperative platforms)

                    Financial and banking cooperatives

                    History of the cooperative movement.

                    Innovation in Cooperative education

                    Assessing the cooperative impact

                    Producer Cooperatives

                    Social Cooperatives

                    Statistics on cooperatives

                    Worker cooperatives

Thematic/topics are NOT exclusive and shall be re-defined based on the received submissions.
