Researcher 3: Anannya Bhowmik: Retracing sustainable platform cooperative models // Aalborg University

The project will focus on promoting the emergence of a platform cooperative in the city of Aalborg, relying on the adaptation of existing technologies (e.g. coopcycle.org in the delivery sector).
