Organizer- Institute of Cooperatives and Bio-Enterprise Development (UPLB)
The International Conference on Cooperatives (ICOOP) is a triennial global cooperative event organized by the Institute of Cooperatives and Bio-Enterprise Development (ICOPED), the lead academic unit of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) for cooperative education, extension, research, and public service.
Our theme for the fourth ICOOP or ICOOP2022 is “Cooperative Identity, Integration and Impact.” It is conceptualized following the overarching theme of the 33rd World Cooperative Congress, which emphasized the cooperative identity strengths and contributions to addressing current global issues. Through ICOOP2022, cooperative experiences and rediscoveries, which have (1) deepened the identity of cooperatives and their competitive advantage; (2) promoted inclusive growth among cooperatives of all forms and sizes and interrelationship with industries, institutions, government and other key economic sectors; and (3) expanded the cooperative impact on the society, economy and the environment, will be explored and shared with the goal of unveiling a renewed perspective of a more balanced, inclusive and progressive cooperative economy.
The conference will accept paper for presentation on the topics related, but not limited, to any of the following tracks:
Cooperative Identity: Highlighting the power of cooperative identity in promoting cooperative integration, deepening cooperative impact, and bringing the cooperative movement to the forefront of sustainable development
- committing to and living the cooperative identity
