Contextual theme

Our ways of consuming, working, producing or living together run up

against the limits of our current socio-economic models. Many

challenges, such as increasing inequality or weakening political and

economic democracy, must be addressed, preferably collectively.

As a result of the various transitions (digital, environmental,

economic, societal,…) underway, we need to change course.

Public enterprises and social economy organizations are major

actors in this transformation: by adapting their production models,

innovating, developing new partnerships, mobilizing resources in the

territories,…

Arriving at the shores of Thessaloniki on 4-6 June 2020, the

33rd CIRIEC International Congress will focus on the STRATEGIES of

public enterprises and social economy organizations in terms of:

Digital transformation

Cross-sectoral integration of network enterprises

Local development co-constructed with public and social

economy actors

Territorial dynamics to be recreated or reinvented

Co-production of public goods and commons

New modes of dialogue and interaction

Partnerships to build the future

Urban planning

Energy transition.

About CIRIEC

Founded in 1947, the International Centre of

Research and Information on the Public, Social

and Cooperative Economy (CIRIEC) is an

international non-governmental scientific

organization that currently has 15 national

sections and 8 collective members throughout

the world.

Its objectives are to undertake and promote the

collection of information, scientific research, and

the publication of works on economic sectors

and activities oriented towards the service of the

general and collective interest.

CIRIEC has an original feature since it develops

activities of interest for both managers and

researchers active in serving the general or

collective interest. CIRIEC aims at being an

international meeting point and a locus of

research and reflection networking, without

lobbying for any particular interests.
