The 5th International Conference on Cooperatives (ICOOP2025) is a global academic conference, which brings together academics and researchers, cooperative leaders and practitioners, policymakers and government agencies, development organizations and industry leaders, and student and youth organizations to discuss the latest trends, issues, and future directions in empowering communities and transforming futures through cooperatives.
Hosted by ICOPED-UPLB, this year's conference coincides with the United Nations International Year of Cooperatives 2025 (IYC 2025), which highlights the significant contributions of cooperatives to sustainable development. With the theme, "The Cooperative Advantage: Empowering Communities, Transforming Futures," ICOOP2025 aims to showcase how cooperatives drive inclusive economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability amid a rapidly changing global landscape. It is an opportunity to emphasize cooperatives as a viable model and mechanism for enhancing resilience, inclusivity, and sustainability worldwide and as a powerful economic and social institution that prioritizes people over profit, ensuring that community needs and aspirations are met while fostering equitable growth.
