This collection brings together publications produced within the framework of the CORAL project (2021–2025), showcasing research on collaborative workspaces, makerspaces, social innovation, alternative development pathways, entrepreneurship, and rural transformation across Europe.
The contributions explore how community-led initiatives, coworking and makerspaces, social enterprises, and grassroots innovations foster new forms of economic organization, knowledge exchange, social inclusion, and sustainable development in both urban and peripheral regions.
Collectively, these publications advance understanding of how collaborative and alternative practices can contribute to more resilient, equitable, and transformative futures.
