With the help of a
grant from the
Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council of Canada, over eighty social economy
practitioners, academics, collaborating institutions, government
agencies, and community partners have come together (2005-2010) to study the
social economy in Atlantic Canada. The Atlantic Network is
one of six such regional research centers across Canada. Each
individual or organization is willing to
contribute their complementary strengths, networks, and
tremendous depth and breadth of experience in social economy
research and practice in Atlantic Canada and abroad. Our
partners include self-defined community economic development
organizations, non-profits, service sector organizations and
co-operatives of a local, regional and national scope. We will
expand upon this initial collaboration by welcoming and linking
with new community and research partners as appropriate, during
the term of our SSHRC grant and beyond.
