We have invited eleven fellow-scientists from various universities and different disciplines to talk about their research findings. What is the meaning of their research for society, particularly for citizen collectives, commons, and cooperative social enterprises. What insights from science can people put into practice on a daily basis?

We kindly invite you to attend the symposium. Click on the register button down below to get your tickets. Can’t attend the symposium in person? Then watch the livestream here.
