During the 10th EMES International Research Conference on Social Enterprise, knowledge exchange platform CollectieveKracht (CollectivePower.eu) launched a new lab, strengthening the field for citizen collectives even further.

CollectieveKracht helps citizen collectives develop into resilient organizations by not only providing scientific, evidence-based knowledge and tools, but also by facilitating the dialogue between collectives and stakeholder groups during events, and by improving the mutual understanding through these partner labs. Connecting science to society is the main goal of platform CollectieveKracht and the new Supporters’ Lab will contribute to that.
During this session, six speakers explored how SE’s and other supporting parties can help scale the movement of citizen collectives.
- Flip Krabbendam, CoWonen
- Kudrat Kaur Paramjit, Ondernemen met je buurt
- Musetta van Wetsing, Robin Doet
- Peter Bosmans, Febecoop
- Tjeerd Haccou, Crowdbuilding
- Ivar Troost, Wooncollectief Knus
The session was part of the Practitioners’ Day on Tuesday 4 November. During the EMES conference week, several team members of the SEICA research group will present their work. View the full program.
