First invitation to

The 2^nd eRNAC conference in Helsinki, Finland, on June 14-16, 2012

Theme: Cooperative values in internationalized operations

eRNAC stands for Electronic Research Network for Agricultural Cooperatives. This virtual organization consists of researchers interested in agricultural producer cooperatives. Most researchers base their research on a variety of economic theories.

An eRNAC conference will be held in Helsinki, Finland, in mid June 2012. The conference takes place close to Midsummer when the nights are very long and bright here in northern Europe. The conference will be three days with the middle day spent as a field trip to various cooperatives. In addition to researchers, also representatives (board members and executives) of cooperative enterprises in Finland and elsewhere will be invited.
