Co-operatives Research Group
The Co-operatives Research Group provides a forum for research into and teaching about all forms of mutual organisations, including; consumer, social, worker, finance, producer co-operatives and other membership based democratic organisations. The Group aims to shape and inform public policy debate on the co-operative sector and the contribution it makes and has the potential to make to social and economic development. It is the goal of the Group to become the focal point for all Co-operative Research being undertaken in Australia and the Asia Pacific Region.
Upcoming Event
Global Consumers' Co-operative: A Historical Perspective
Friday 19 November, 2010
The Women's College, The University of Sydney
This symposium brings together a number of international researchers examining the issue of the history of consumer co-operatives. The symposium raises a number of issues, particularly why consumer co-operatives have been more successful in some countries and regions than others. The speakers are members of a steering committee overseeing the Global Consumers' Co-operative Project, which plans to produce a major publication in 2012, the United Nations International Year of Co-operatives.
The symposium is organised by the Co-operatives Research Group, Faculty of Economics and Business, The University of Sydney and we acknowledge the financial support of the Faculty of Economics and Business, The University of Sydney.
The symposium registration form and program are available.
