The EACB is pleased to announce

Apropos Coop Banking

“The Future of the Co-operative Business Model”

24 January 2022 - 9:30-11:30am CET (ONLINE)

This event is to mark the launch of the EACB Co-operative Identity Forum and the Academic Advisory Group. The newly created Forum shall serve as a platform for exchange on political developments related to co-operatives and in the co-operative banking sector on national, European and global levels. The EACB Academic Advisory Group shall enable a dialogue with researchers and academics on topics related to co-operatives and co-operative banking. The aim is to foster a mutually inspiring conversation on co-operative banking and its challenges.

The event focuses on the prospects for the co-operative business model, particularly in light of the trends emerging from the increasing digitalisation and the ecological transition of our economies.

On this occasion, the EACB would like to honour the winners of the 9th EACB Award for Young Researchers on Co-operative Banks. The purpose of this competition is to attract young talents to investigate co-operative banks’ specificities and thus stimulate research on co-operative banking.
