Committee on Co-operative Research ICACCR

A thematic committee of the ICA

The ICA Committee on Co-operative Research is a thematic committee of the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA). It is a bridge between academic research and the co-operative world.

The ICACCR aims at strengthening activities and making the work of researchers more visible, particularly to managers and co-operators so that resarch results can be applied to current co-operatives issues. For example, questions concerning social audit, co-operative principles, innovation, globalisation and the local dimensions of co-operatives, developing co-operative advantage and the emergence of new wave co-operatives have all been reviewed from both a practical and theoretical stance.

One of the main activities of the ICACCR is the organisation of reserach conferences at the global and regional levels. See mor on ICACCR activities > > >
