ECG in research and practice
The ECG International Conference is a hub for fostering academic discourse on the Economy for the Common Good (ECG) model and mutual inspiration between similar approaches and models, as well as for providing fresh ideas for ECG practitioners. At the core of a successful conference are, (a) topical tracks with carefully curated keynotes, (b) special encounter formats for similar models and integration perspectives, and (c) the transdisciplinary orientation to bring together scholars, practitioners, policymakers and students.
The conference should provide spaces for the aforementioned stakeholders to engage in long-term dialogue and collaboration. The goal behind these spaces is to foster transdisciplinary research, forge synergies and connections, and equip ECG practitioners and policymakers with new skills and knowledge. To this end, we suggest either dedicating a full day to non-academic activities or incorporating a specialised track throughout the conference.
