UQAM – Chaire de coopération Guy-Bernier

Desjardins supports the mission of Chaire de coopération Guy-Bernier, whose mission is to inspire and promote reflection and discussion on the issue of cooperation in a society subject to various and sometimes profound changes in its economic, social and demographic environment. The Chaire's work focuses on cooperative values, principles and practices as well as the cooperative discourse.

Chaire de coopération Guy-Bernier pursues broad social, cultural and economic goals in response to general concerns, but also studies the specific issues faced by the Fédération, caisses and the cooperative movement as a whole.
