The last session of the series ‘Realities and challenges of agri-food cooperatives’ was held on 13 June. This was the last session of the 2024 academic year.

The final session of the series ‘Realities and challenges of agri-food cooperatives’ was dedicated to the analysis of co-operative integration from a practical point of view. It took place on Thursday 13 June between 4:30 and 5:30pm.

The Centre for Research in Social Economy Law and Cooperative Enterprise Law of the University of Almería (CIDES), in collaboration with Agri-food Cooperatives of Spain and the Chair for Agri-food Cooperatives, has organised this new edition of the UV-specific Master’s Degree in Agri-food Cooperative Law (2024). This Master’s is completely online and includes two specialist courses: Specialist in Corporate, Tax and Labour Consultancy for Agri-food Cooperatives (Feb.–June 2024) and Specialist in Legal Consultancy for Agri-food Cooperatives in their Business Activities (scheduled for 2025).

As part of this Master’s programme, a series of sessions on the realities and challenges in the agri-food sector were organised, each focusing on a specific topic. These sessions were aimed in particular at the students of both Master’s degrees, but were also open to the general public interested in the topics covered.
