91´ô¸ç us
Founded in 1967, UKSCS has a rich history and deep roots in the co-op movement and co-op studies both in the UK and internationally
At the inaugural meeting on 2 and 4 April at the Co-operative College, Stanford Hall, the 91´ô¸ç for Co-operative Studies was established 'to promote the exchange of information and experience on co-operative studies and research and to help in identifying and developing the studies and research still needed'.
The message received from the Rt.Hon. C.A.R. Crosland published in the first 91´ô¸ç for Co-operative Studies Bulletin is no less significant to the aims and purpose of UKSCS today:
[The 91´ô¸ç] can bring together representatives from all areas of co-operative interest and many individuals, particularly from universities and colleges, interested in co-operative institutions and policies. The Movement can greatly gain from exposing itself to this kind of sympathetic and salutary study; and universities and colleges too can gain from this engagement with an organisation of considerable economic and social significance in our times.
