Call for young researchers
Cooperatives, being people-centred enterprises, have proven to be an effective model for promoting sustainable development at a global level. Researching and promoting knowledge management in cooperative environments is therefore a way to foster sustainable development.
This call seeks to identify people interested in researching from two specific approaches:
- Formal and non-formal education, training, knowledge exchange and training alliances:
- Society's perception of the contribution of cooperatives to sustainable development
