25-29 October 2027 · Hasselt, Belgium
The REWORLDING Conference brings together researchers, designers, policymakers and societal partners to explore how we can collectively reshape our worlds in times of socio-ecological crisis.
Across five days, the programme combines keynote lectures, paper presentations, workshops, an exhibition across Hasselt and a performance by Het Nieuwstedelijk. Each day offers a different entry point into the conference theme, creating space for exchange between research, policy, design practice and cultural work.
Our keynote programme brings together perspectives from design research, European policymaking, cooperative organisation and environmental political theory. The lectures will explore how we might rethink institutions, democratic participation and our relationships with the more-than-human world.
The programme is currently in development. Session schedules, locations and practical information will be announced at a later stage.
