Out now: New IJCCR Issue (Vol 26-2)

Editor

We are pleased to present our latest issue, produced over the last few months, with five exciting articles. These also include the winner of the best paper award from last year’s RAMICS conference in Sofia, written by authors Luiz Arthur Silva de Faria, Bruno Chapadeiro Ribeiro, Henrique L. Cukierman and Eduardo H. Diniz. Go directly to their paper here, see an overview of the complete issue, or as always, find all new contributions on the page “All Issues“.

The IJCCR is in a challenging process of transition which meant that some things have been delayed while our authors had to be patient. That is why the current issue is included in last year’s volume number 26, with the references of the individual papers referring to a 2022 publication date.

Our new Editor-in-Chief Jens Martignoni is convinced that our work is important and a journal on community currencies fills an important niche. But we will need more resources and new ideas in order to continue to thrive in the future. One first step is the “Ideas for debate” section, reopened with this issue. We will publish more articles on elementary monetary concepts and story-lines in the next issues and look forward to stimulating discussion among scholars and practitioners.

Final call for papers – 6th RAMICS Congress, Sofia, October 2022

leanderbindewald

Submissions to the 6th RAMICS conference in Sofia, Bulgaria, in October 2022 are still possible. 

We were  made aware of some misunderstandings. In consequence the deadline for abstracts has now been extended until July 4th, 8am.

We would like to clarify the following:

  • The congress will be hybrid: participation is possible both in person AND online (via Zoom), the latter at a reduced fee (from 50€).   
  • The congress is open for academia, practitioners and policymakers, all invited to share their latest insights. 
  • For researchers, presentations of their findings are possible for both published and unpublished articles. 
  • For practitioners reporting on their ongoing projects, the abstracts submitted under Theme 5 (“Review and Renew”) will not be judged by scientific criteria and will be accepted until Sept 15th. 
  • You do not need to become a member of RAMICS to participate in the congress.
  • Presenters will be invited to submit new versions of their work to the research journal associations with RAMICS: The International Journal of Community Currency Research (IJCCR). But publishing in that journal is neither required nor guaranteed for papers presented at the congress.

The full call for papers, general information about the Congress and updates can be found on the congress website, on Facebook, or get in touch at ramics@unwe.bg.

RAMICS Online Roundtable on March 5, 2021

Research Association on Monetary Innovation and Community and Complementary Currency Systems

At a time of uncertainty about the future and increased precarity in the present, we at RAMICS believe that complementary and community currencies have become and even more relevant tool to build community resilience and hopefully help us transition towards a more sustainable future. So, while the pandemic has forced the bi-annual RAMICS conference to be postponed, we see the need to keep the conversation alive. For this reason, we are organizing an online Round-table on March 5.
