Our aim is to critically discuss, collect the evidence and demonstrate the capabilities of cooperatives to respond to global challenges. In the same vein, the event is meant to provide a problem-oriented interdisciplinary platform for setting the future research agenda in the field of cooperative studies beyond the year 2012.
