Due to multiple requests, we have extended the abstract submission deadline for the 19th ICA Asia-Pacific Research Conference, being held from 23 to 25 November 2025 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The new deadline is 31 July 2025.

Organized by our Committee on Cooperative Research (ICA-AP CCR), in collaboration with SANASA Federation and SANASA Campus, under the theme “Cooperatives Build a Better World,” the conference will explore the role of cooperatives in promoting sustainability, resilience, and inclusive development.

The programme spans 10 thematic tracks, covering topics such as Sustainability & Circular Practices, Digital Finance, Governance & Participation, Cooperatives in the Care Economy, Youth Empowerment, and more. We hope this gives researchers, practitioners, and cooperative leaders more time to contribute their valuable work.
