In order to better use and share the wealth of the CIRIEC network experts in the fields of general interest and the social economy, this interactive and collaborative tool was designed as a multilingual knowledge platform.

The aim is to bring men and women working together on common themes, allowing them to communicate and move forward together around an interactive tool.

AGORA is composed of three parts:

  1. a directory where members notify their detailed profile (research, publications, areas of interest, current projects …)
  2. a literature (documentary) database,
  3. a part for providing information (conference announcements, events, publications …).

Today AGORA of the General Interest and the Social Economy is:
