The ‘ICA CCR Europe Research Conference 2026’, or European Congress of Researchers of the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA), organised by the Centre for Business Research (CEGEA) at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), has received over 200 proposals for papers and panel sessions, following the closure on 10 April the final deadline for the submission of abstracts. The number of proposals received suggests the conference will be a great success in terms of participation.
Considered the most important annual academic event in Europe dedicated to research on cooperatives, it will take place from 3 to 6 November 2026 in Valencia under the theme ‘Cooperative enterprises for shared progress: facing global challenges together’.
