Platform launched to ‘build knowledge for a stronger co-operative movement’

Co-operative researchers, educators, practitioners and organisations have access to a new tool that aims to support access to, and the sharing of, knowledge and research on co-operatives.

PortailCoop is a digital platform developed and managed by the Institut international des coopératives Alphonse-et-Dorimène-Desjardins (IICADD) at HEC Montréal, and is the result of a new partnership with the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA).

The two organisations signed a memorandum of understanding in November to “strengthen the sharing, accessibility and dissemination of knowledge on co-operatives and mutuals worldwide”. 

PortailCoop provides access to more than 37,000 resources in 36 languages, covering over 150 years of co-operative history and drawing on content from 84 countries. It brings together resources from more than 4,100 organisations, including over 10,000 organisational reports, more than 500 practical tools and around 900 audio and video resources. Registration is free and open to all, giving users access to all the platform’s resources.
