Call for papers and workshops is now open

The Call for Papers & Workshops for the conference ’Sustainability, Temporalities and Futures’ is now open.

We invite researchers, scholars, practitioners, decision-makers and students from universities, research institutes, companies, and governmental and non-governmental organisations to share the latest research results, findings and thoughts no later than 2 February 2026.

The Futures Conference 2026 focuses on the following questions and beyond:

  • What perspectives are related to the fair and just implementation of sustainability transformation in society?
  • How can we link long-term thinking with short-term practices to facilitate sustainability transformation in everyday life and decision making?
  • What inspiring ways can we imagine sustainable futures?
  • What do the ethical aspects of temporalities and sustainability mean in theory and practice?
  • What significance and potential does culture have as a driver of sustainability transformation?
  • What are the roles of art and different knowledge systems in sustainability transformation?
  • How can decision-making and business practices be developed to better recognise and mitigate climate change, biodiversity loss, and the overconsumption of natural resources?
  • How can alternative economic models – such as postgrowth or feminist economics – support sustainability transformation?
  • What weak signals and wild cards can be detected in the sustainability transformation?
