Home ›Call for young scholars for Regional Co-operative Research Conference in Buenos Aires
6 Feb 2018
The ICA CCR Young Scholars Program, the Young Scholars Initiative Working Group on Co-operatives and Co-operation, and Wageningen University & Research are jointly convening a workshop on Co-operatives and Co-operation.
The objective of the workshop is to give young scholars from different disciplines the opportunity to develop further knowledge and skills on current issues related to Co-operatives and Co-operation as well as to give space for networking and exchange.
The workshop will require preparation (prior reading and writing) as well as active engagement with the work of others during the session. In order to make this as productive as possible we are looking for young scholars, in particular PhD students, whose own research touches upon topics related to co-operatives and economic co-operation, such as the sustainability of the co-operative model, co-operative governance, innovations in co-operation and enterprise, producer organisations, co-operatives and big data, etc. The event will start on Tuesday evening, 3 July.
4 July will be dedicated to a full-day workshop, after which Young Scholars are invited to participate in the ICA Research Conference, taking place on 4 - 6 July in Wageningen, Netherlands (www.wur.eu/ica2018).
Keep looking for updates, as we will be publishing registration procedures, projected costs, and information on reimbursements for travel and accommodation by March.

Latest edition of the Review of International Co-operation is out!
The Committee on Co-operative Research of the International Co-operative Alliance is pleased to announce the publication of the Review of International Co-operation 2017 on co-operative research in Latin America.
This special Issue presents views from Latin America that, we hope, sheds light on what Cooperativism represents as a socio-economic movement in the region. It includes eight academic papers that have been peer-evaluated, from Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Paraguay and Colombia, dealing with responses to catastrophes, cooperative contributions to sustainable development, member participation and education, growth strategies, and policy evaluation. Three more articles deal with research in Latin America in general, and one with Brazil in particular, discussing theoretical and methodological approaches, as well as university and post-graduate studies on the subject.
Guest editors Claudia Sanchez Bajo, Mirta Vuotto and Ana Maria Sarria Icaza introduce readers to the diverse co-operative ecosystem in the region. Given that most regional research in published either in Spanish and Portuguese, this effort is intended to enhance the dialogue among co-operative researchers and practitioners, policy-makers and the co-operative movement worldwide.
The Special Issue 2017 of the Review is now available here!
