The ECOOPE Project, co-financed by the European Union, has a budget of over €300,000 and was launched in May 2017 to improve European Secondary and Higher Education students’ employability by providing them with the entrepreneurial knowledge and skills for them to be able to create cooperatives or, alternatively, incorporate their initiatives in already-existing co-ops.

Together with the University of Cantabria, CISE [Santander International Entrepreneurship Centre] and Valnalón in Spain, the following European institutions are part of the consortium: LUT Lappeenranta University of Technology [Finland], EURICSE [Italy], Porto University and PEEP [Portugal], and Co-operative College UK [United Kingdom].
