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
