The call for participants for the YSI Cooperatives WG workshop which will be running concurrently with the Cooperative University of Kenya Annual Conference on 25th and 26th of March 2019 has been extend to 28 February 2019.
The Workshop seeks to assist young scholars who are grappling with complex cooperatives studies in Africa as they search for sustainable models for cooperatives development. The workshop is calling on researchers and young scholars to submit abstracts for presentations focusing on the themes listed below:
• Sustainability in cooperatives
• Gender inclusiveness in cooperatives
• Innovation and governance of cooperatives
• Cooperatives organizational structures
• Research methods in cooperatives
• collective entrepreneurship
Those interested should submit abstracts or motivation letters. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words including 5 keywords. However, since not every scholar is going to present, we also encourage participants without abstracts to submit letters stating their motivation for participating, their affiliation and a five-line biography.
There will be no registration fees and participants are expected to cater for their own travel and accommodation. However, there is travel and accommodation weaver for students who fail to get funding from their institutions. All submissions can be made to: [email protected] and cc [email protected] or [email protected]
Those who had previously submitted at [email protected] are encouraged to re-submit at the email addresses given above
