The Social Enterprise and Institutions for Collective Action (ICA) research group at the Rotterdam School of Management initiated the platform CollectivePower. As an independent academic research group, ICA has been studying the phenomenon of citizen collectives for over ten years, from both a historical and contemporary perspective, with a focus extending beyond the Netherlands. Through academic research conducted in close collaboration with citizen collectives, ICA has built up extensive experience in structuring, analyzing, and comparing relevant knowledge and information about these collectives. This led ICA to develop this knowledge platform in collaboration with stakeholders in the field, with the aim of gaining insight into how citizen collectives can become more resilient and future-proof. ICA's role remains that of an independent academic research group that views its contribution to the platform as a social responsibility.
