Symposia
Hosting symposia is an important ongoing initiative for the Centre. The objective of each symposium is to bring together experts with diverse perspectives to explore solutions to tough questions and gain valuable insights. The outcomes of the symposia support our research and education programs, plus generate benefits for the global co-operative sector by elevating our collective understanding of co-operative management and governance.
Upcoming Symposia
- International Symposium on Co-operative Identity and Energizing the Co-operative Brand will be held in Halifax, NS, Canada, from May 19-21, 2026.
