The International Cooperative Alliance Committee on Cooperative Research Europe (ICA CCR Europe) conference will be organised in Helsinki, Finland on the 12th to 13th of June in 2025. With cooperation from renowned experts and academics dedicated to cooperative research, this is a must-attend event for all in the field!

Prior to the conference in Helsinki, a Young Scholars day will be held in Joensuu on June 11th. Designed for master’s, PhD and post-doctoral students, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in dynamic, in-depth discussions, receive feedback on their work and establish life-long networks.

With 2025 marking the United Nations International Year of Cooperatives, we are happy and proud to announce that the theme of the conference will be Cooperative Identity – Who we are as a movement, a form of organization and as cooperators?

The aim of the conference theme is to inspire traditional as well as contemporary perspectives from which to study co-operatives and economic cooperation. Our aim is to encourage scholars to approach the main theme in diverse, versatile and innovative ways.
