The Institute for Cooperative Studies is a partner for the organization and implementation of a wide variety of events. Its interdisciplinary character and its central location in the heart of Berlin have proven their worth time and again. Since 1992, over 60 events have been held at the Humboldt University of Berlin for and with the cooperative sector. Prominent examples of the wide range of events include the ICA – CCR European Research Conference 2019 and the anniversary conference of the Berlin Committee of UNESCO’s work in October 2023.
