This is > being developed by the Co-operative College in Manchester with the support of > Co-operatives UK and the University of Lincoln. The database is for people > involved in global co-operative research primarily in the fields of > education, the world of work and work organisation, history and international > development. It might be that we expand to other areas of co-operative > research as the database evolves. We anticipate that this database will be > complimentary to other, excellent initiatives, such as the Canadian > Co-operative Research Network at the University of Saskatchewan. > > > > The aim of the database is to facilitate a network for co-operative > researchers to access information about recent and current co-operative > research and practice. This will encourage us to share new knowledge and > ideas, reflect on the 'place' and value of diverse co-operative models and > identify potential research collaborations.

At the > same time, we will launch a new co-operative membership offer which is > concerned to engage (and re-engage) those interested and active in all > aspects of a ‘refreshed’ and renewed co-operative movement which shares not > only its roots but much of its present and future with trade unions and > worker interests. The database will be one of many resources available > within the offer. Although we will request a small fee from new members to > enable access to these resources (so as to maintain running costs and keep > resources current), this will not apply to database contributors who will be > able to network freely with other researchers, practitioners and activists. > If you sign up we will be in touch to let you know how to access the > database. > > > Cilla
