About the Institute for Solidarity Economics:

Our aim is to support the Solidarity Economy Movement for a just and sustainable economic system. The movement consists of organisations and initiatives that embody principles like solidarity, self-management, democracy, co-operation, equity, pluralism, and environmental sustainability. We want to research, collaborate and take action to help build on the already existing ‘Solidarity Economy’.
