History of the Research Cooperative
The Research Cooperative was established in 2001 as an not-for-profit initiative. Our first network, The Research Cooperative NZ, operated successfully for seven years, using an open-source system customised by Dr Cees Lensink (Webcase, NZ).
Our new network is based on a generic social-networking system provided by Ning.com, and offers better security and better communication tools for our members and visitors.
See our introduction in English for further information on the aims and history of the network.
The top logo of our network shows two figures sitting back to back, in red. I made the following version on 30th April 2011 after seeing a great Paul Klee exhibition in Kyoto, where I live.

Hi Peter,
Nice to hear from you and thanks for the' likes' of my shirt :). It's been a while since I've been to Baguio City. Ha, ha, ha, the city is as resilient as the fluctuating weather and unpredictability of geo and topo graphy. Though you are up there, metaphorically speaking, it won't bring you down.
Dear peter, 1st of all i would like to appreciate for your comment and am glad to cooprate with your Research group. Just to come up with your question SNNPR is an abbreviation of the reagion where am working now ( Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia) .
Keep in touch!!!!!!
