Our aims remain consistent with the original intentions for the 91´ô¸ç. We aim to provide an independent voluntary space where members will facilitate and share critical practice and engaged research on co-operatives & co-operation.
Our charitable objects set out in our constitution are:
To advance the education of the public concerning all aspects of the co-operative movement, and co-operative forms of structure, and in particular to assist, commission and/or identify, and to publish research into the aforementioned areas and to promote the exchange of information and experience on co-operative studies and research.
Membership of UKSCS provides opportunities to engage in and support co-operative studies, including network events, conferences, and access to the Journal of Co-operative Studies.
