Conference - Towards a just and habitable world: exploring the role of technology

Registrations are now open!
In an era of polycrisis the need to interrogate the role of technologies in shaping our shared future has never been more urgent. This interdisciplinary conference will explore technological systems in all their diversity — from water and energy infrastructures, agroecology and nature-based solutions to synthetic biology, and digital technologies. Which technologies can foster well-being within planetary and local boundaries, and which of them carry the risk of exacerbating ecological overshoot and social injustice? How do we navigate between illusions of high-tech salvation and the urgent need for democratic, grounded and large-scale responses to the hard limits of adaptation?
