SUMMARY:International Symposium on Cooperatives and International Law
DESCRIPTION:This event will provide a timely platform to explore the evolving role of cooperatives within the framework of international law\, highlighting their potential to foster peace\, advance social justice\, and contribute to sustainable development worldwide. It is a gathering that will bring together policymakers\, legal experts\, cooperative leaders\, academics\, and advocates. \n\n\n\nThe theme is Peace\, Social Justice and Sustainable Development. The symposium will frame the issues that matter most to cooperatives\, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges they face in today’s evolving economic and social landscape. By bringing together policymakers\, legal experts\, and cooperative leaders\, the discussions will underscore how better-designed legal frameworks can strengthen the cooperative enterprise model\, ensuring it remains resilient\, inclusive\, and competitive. Central to the dialogue is the recognition that cooperatives rooted in democratic governance and community benefit require supportive regulatory environments that enable innovation\, access to finance\, and fair participation in markets. The event thus aligns with the celebration of the UN International Day of Cooperatives\, reaffirming the cooperative model as a vital tool for sustainable development\, social justice\, and economic empowerment worldwide. \n\n\n\nFrom 11:30-12:20\, professor Tine De Moor will participate in a panel on Cooperative Education and Training.  \n\n\n\nJoin online or join on-site

SUMMARY:LECTURE BY TINE DE MOOR ON THE SPREAD OF COLLECTIVE INSTITUTIONS IN EUROPE
DESCRIPTION:As part of the MOTI seminar series at Grenoble École de Management\, professor Tine De Moor will give a lecture on the historical development and geographical spread of institutions for collective action in Europe\, focusing on the example of guilds.  \n\n\n\nTine DE MOOR will present: “Contagious Institutions? A longitudinal study of institutional spillover of European guilds”.  \n\n\n\nFrom the 12th to the 19th century\, guilds became a dominant organizational form across Europe. While their emergence is often linked to urbanization and economic growth\, this lecture explores how spatial and temporal dynamics also shaped their diffusion. Using a large-scale longitudinal dataset and statistical modelling\, the study shows how institutional models like guilds spread between regions over time — offering insights into the mechanisms of institutional spillover and adaptation. \n\n\n\nLocation: Room F601\, Grenoble École de Management \n\n\n\nJoin online: https://grenoble-em.zoom.us/my/semardf601

SUMMARY:VLG Symposium - Commons in agriculture and forestry

It examines how commons operated historically\, their institutional mechanisms\, and their relevance today. \n\n\n\nProfessor Tine De Moor’s will give a lecture\, focusing on the renewed interest in commons as alternatives to state and market governance. She critically assesses how historical knowledge about commons is often used uncritically or inconsistently in modern discourse. Her talk asks: What can we truly learn from historical commons? Which mechanisms ensured their sustainability? And how do they compare to other forms of collective organization in the past? \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be in Dutch.

SUMMARY:CollectieveKracht - Citizen collectives and the market: between clashing logics and innovative collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Over the past years\, citizen collectives have grown into visible players in sectors such as energy\, healthcare\, housing\, and food. What does their rise mean for how we organize our economy? The next CollectieveKracht event (in Dutch) will dive into this question with a keynote from Professor Irene van Staveren (ISS\, Erasmus University) and five parallel interactive sessions.  \n\n\n\n\nGet a ticket\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis event will take place at the Lindenberg Cultuurhuis in Nijmegen. This event is made possible by the municipality of Nijmegen. \n\n\n\nDescriptionCitizen collectives seem to follow a different institutional logic than the market\, but their actual relationship with the market is not always so clear. They redistribute economic power\, potentially reduce dependence on major market players\, and can even discipline markets through price pressure or new norms. At the same time\, their increasing numbers raise important tensions. Does competition arise between collective and commercial providers—and is that desirable? What happens when collectives professionalize? What happens when they make a profit? Can they use market mechanisms without losing their own values\, or does mission drift threaten once financial sustainability becomes more important? \n\n\n\nThis event brings together scientists\, policymakers\, practical experts\, and representatives of citizen collectives to explore these questions in depth. For everyone who wants to understand how the economy and society are reinventing themselves from the ground up.

SUMMARY:Symposium - Community contributions to societal challenges: Why they matter and how they work
DESCRIPTION:Community participation is vital for well-functioning societies. Both in academic circles and in societal institutions\, there is lively debate and experimentation with various forms of community participation. These can range from community initiatives to citizen councils and other cooperative arrangements where people get together. Community engagement is crucial for creating support for societal transitions and for building trust between citizens and institutions. Importantly\, it gives people the opportunity to take part in dialogue with politicians and policymakers and get involved in creating solutions for wicked problems. However\, there is still much uncertainty about how communities become empowered to contribute in a way that allows for genuine involvement. In this symposium\, we will explore emerging ways for community voices to be heard. We will examine how communities can foster a lively democracy and build societies where everyone can flourish\, while also investigating how (local) governments can effectively enable and engage their citizens. What are the most promising models for collective action? And do these citizen initiatives even need government support to succeed? \n\n\n\nAs part of the program\, Professor Tine De Moor (Rotterdam School of Management\, Erasmus University) will give a presentation. \n\n\n\nOrganizers: Denise de Ridder\, Marleen Gillebaart\, Lars Tummers & John de Wit on behalf of the Behavior & Institutions platform at Utrecht University \n\n\n\nPreliminary program \n\n\n\n\nMorning: Presentations followed by a panel discussion\n\n\n\nAfternoon: Demonstrations of strategies enabling citizens to contribute as a community\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Johanna Hudig Building\, Achter Sint Pieter 200 (Utrecht City Center)
