IV Scuola Democratica - DEADLINE EXTENDED
deadline: 15.03.2026
category: Event (01.09.2026 - 04.09.2026)
keywords: Learning, Democracy, Civic education, Inclusivity
Scuola Democratica & La Sapienza University


The Fourth International Conference of Scuola Democratica is devoted to examining the vital interplay between learning and democracy — two essential pillars for building societies that are just, inclusive, and sustainable. The theme Learning for democracy / Democracy for learning not only reaffirms the enduring significance of democratic values but also calls for their critical rethinking and their concrete realization in everyday educational and social practices. In a global landscape marked by democratic backsliding, widening inequalities, and accelerated digital transformation, it has become imperative to reconsider how education and democracy can be reconnected to cultivate conscious, critical, and actively engaged citizens. The Conference brings together Italian and international scholars and researchers in a broad, multidisciplinary conversation aimed at reimagining education and training as instruments of emancipation and as living practices of democratic citizenship—rooted in the present, yet responsibly oriented toward the future.

IRIS CONFERENCE - Unsettling Communities: Diversity, Mobility and Displacement in an Age of Growing Authoritarianism
deadline: 16.03.2026
category: Event (07.09.2026 09:00 - 09.09.2026 18:00)
keywords: mobility, migration, displacement, authoritarianism
The Institute for Research into International Migration and Superdiversity (IRIS) , University of Birmingham


We are living in times where profound and intersecting geopolitical, economic, environmental and ideological crises are shaping diversity, mobility and displacement. Armed conflicts and protracted wars—from Ukraine to Gaza—continue to displace millions, while climate breakdown, a widespread drift towards authoritarian rhetoric and far-right politics alongside economic collapse drive large-scale mobility and immobility across and within regions, including from Venezuela, across the Sahel, and throughout Central America. The current world order is thus increasingly characterised by change and instability. These changes have major ramifications including intensifying border violence, the introduction of increasingly selective mobility regimes and the erosion of international protection frameworks. Faced with this disruption, political and activist communities are forging new alliances across difference and mobilising in radical new ways to re-imagine collective power and belonging. In this context, the study of diversity, migration and displacement is both more urgent and more challenging than ever. How can scholarship respond to these transformations without reproducing dominant framings of crisis, threat or invasion? What concepts, methods and alliances are needed to understand—and contest—this moment?

Das Jürgen-Bolten-Stipendium / The Jürgen Bolten Scholarship
deadline: 22.03.2026
category: Research grant / fellowship / scholarship
keywords: Interkulturalität; Fuzzy Cultures; Transferkompetenz; Jürgen Bolten
interculture.de e.V.


Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bolten zählt zu den prägenden Vordenkern eines modernen, prozessorientierten Verständnisses von Interkulturalität im deutschsprachigen Raum. Seine Forschung hat das Feld interkultureller Kompetenz grundlegend verändert – weg von statischen Kulturvergleichen hin zu relationalen, dynamischen und reflexiven Ansätzen. Er entwickelte Konzepte wie die Fuzzy Cultures, die Kulturen als offene, durchlässige Beziehungsnetzwerke begreifen – stets im Wandel, geprägt von wechselseitiger Bezugnahme. Mit seinem struktur-prozessualen Ansatz verstand Jürgen Bolten interkulturelle Kompetenz nicht als isolierte Fähigkeit, sondern als ganzheitliche Transferkompetenz: ein Zusammenspiel aus individuellem, sozialem, fachlichem und strategischem Handeln in oft ungewissen, komplexen Kontexten. Das Stipendium trägt Jürgen Boltens Namen, nicht nur weil er Begründer des Vereins interculture.de e.V. ist – es trägt seine Vision weiter: Interkulturalität nicht als Wissen über andere zu verstehen, sondern als gemeinsames Aushandeln von Zusammenleben, Teilhabe und Verantwortung in einer vielfältigen Gesellschaft und einer zunehmend komplexen, dynamischen Welt. Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bolten is one of the defining thought leaders of a modern, process-oriented understanding of interculturality in the German-speaking world. His research has fundamentally changed the field of intercultural competence – away from static cultural comparisons to relational, dynamic and reflexive approaches. He developed concepts such as the fuzzy cultures, which understand cultures as open, permeable relationship networks – always changing, characterized by mutual reference. With his structural-processual approach, Jürgen Bolten understood intercultural competence not as an isolated skill, but as a holistic transfer competence: an interplay of individual, social, professional and strategic action in often uncertain, complex contexts. The scholarship bears Jürgen Bolten’s name, not only because he is the founder of the association interculture.de e.V. – it carries his vision further: not to understand interculturality as knowledge of others, but as a joint negotiation of coexistence, participation and responsibility in a diverse society and an increasingly complex, dynamic world.

EURODAD - european network on debt and development


“Connecting the Dots” is a four-year project that started in June 2024 funded by the EU DEAR programme, focused on educating and empowering EU citizens, in particular young activists, to tackle global challenges through the interconnected lenses of economic, gender and climate justice. The project promotes knowledge-building and the creation of tools, and spaces for capacity building, networking, campaigning and advocacy. It engages media, educators, and decision-makers to amplify narratives and drive systemic change by connecting local and international efforts. A key element of the project is three major joint pan-European campaigns focused on economic justice and financing for development (implemented in 2025), climate justice (planned in 2026) and gender justice. This project is implemented by a consortium of nine diverse and experienced partner organisations from across the EU. The consortium includes both national member-based organisations and national organisations with strong connections to local and international networks. Collectively, these organisations bring extensive expertise in areas such as debt, tax, gender, environmental and climate justice, financing for development, and development cooperation.

DeZIM-Konferenz 2026 "Die umkämpfte Normalität der Migration"
deadline: 31.03.2026
category: Event
Deutsches Zentrum für Integrations- und Migrationsforschung DeZIM e.V.


Migration, Flucht und Zugehörigkeit stehen im Zentrum gesellschaftlicher Aushandlungsprozesse. Doch jenseits aktueller Polarisierungen stellen sich grundlegende Fragen nach Treibern und Prozessen des gesellschaftlichen und politischen Wandels: Wie sind die Konflikte um Migration historisch und strukturell eingebettet? In welchen Kontexten sind Migration und Vielfalt wenig umstrittene Normalität? Wozu führen „Ungleichzeitigkeiten“, ein Nebeneinander unterschiedlicher Konfliktintensitäten und -logiken? An welchen Konfliktlinien werden rechtsstaatliche Prinzipien zugunsten antidemokratischer oder illiberaler Politik angegriffen? Mit diesem Zugang untersucht die Konferenz aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive, wie globale Krisen, transnationale Verflechtungen, nationale Diskurse sowie lokale Erfahrungen langfristige Verschiebungen von Solidarität, Exklusion und Demokratie formen. Ziel ist es, Konflikte nicht nur als Symptome der Gegenwart zu lesen, sondern als zentrale Dynamiken gesellschaftlicher Transformation und Zukunftsfähigkeit zu analysieren. Die Konferenz versteht sich als interdisziplinäres Forum für Austausch und Vernetzung zwischen Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis. Eingeladen sind Wissenschaftler*innen aller Karrierestufen sowie Akteur*innen aus Politik, Verwaltung, Zivilgesellschaft und Praxis, die zu den Themen Migration, Integration, Rassismus und Konflikten arbeiten.

Ngā Manu o Te Wao: Birds of the Realm Conference
deadline: 31.03.2026
category: Event
keywords: Māori Indigenous knowledge; Gender and education; Queer & feminist pedagogy; Entanglement (Barad); Ethics of joy / liberation; Ecologies & place-based imaginaries
Gender & Education Association


The birds of Aotearoa--ngā manu--gift us unique inspiration and metaphor. They are ubiquitous characters in whakataukī (Māori proverbs) and pūrākau (Māori narratives) and come to us as both a gift of the whenua (land) and as timeless oracles out of the archives of our kaitiaki (custodians). They are also always in time, if we notice them out of the corner of our eye, flitting from branch to branch like Pīwakawaka, or, like the Kākāpō, making a raucous mess of the rimu fruit, watching the forest through the night with its burrowing sisters, the Roroa and the Tokoeka. Whakataukī and Pūrākau speak to us in the present, awakening us again to inspiration in the field of Gender and Education. Here birds have the power to draw us into both old/new ways of thinking and old/new gratitude for a world that is always becoming. Birds draw us into dreaming—dreams appearing as they do like mischievous Kererū in the Kōwhai tree, heralding the myriad potentialities ahead, possibilities of healing, chatter, restoration, playfulness, rejuvenation, resistance, transformation in queer and feminist experiences in education and in society. Perhaps in a beautiful entanglement (Barad, 2007), the whakataukī and pūrākau of the birds meets Hélène Cixous’ dreams of birds, and together they symbolise generative acts of liberation, queering the proper, of belonging, drawing up the creative and unbounded song of the Kōrimako that sings to us of the possibility of an ethics of joy (Braidotti, 2018) in the expectation of difference, buoyed by the curiosity of Tui and the resilience of Kōkako as life giving tenets of a liberating pedagogy (hooks, 2014). There is an encounter in this, of what is Indigenous, with that far away, a pandemonium of philosophies, feminisms, pedagogies, ecologies, activisms and poetries meeting each other over the motu (island), but also, we find bird-life in the treetops, under fern fronds, nested in gullies and deep in the mountains, all in bird-form soaring, (flightless or in flight). Haere mai. Welcome.

Gender and Education Association & Auckland University of Technology


The magic of the birds in flight inspires us—as academics, educators, activists, artists and scholars of gender and education—to speculation and to innovation. Casting our eyes upwards to follow the brilliance of the Toroa (albatross) as it glides into the ether, with it we begin to see beyond boundaries, that are now opened up in the sheer expanse of the sky. The limits are moved, shaken, survived, reinscribed, and urged onwards and upwards by these messengers of the gods riding on the winds. For us here, journeys will be taken in our fields and practices, that are replete with the old memories of the currents and that will cast new lines of flight. Inspired by this whakataukī, we welcome presentations that explore: - Border-crossings and by-ways: storying intersectionality in education - Gender and education in the political zeitgeist - Multiplicities, pluralities in gender and sexuality education as sites of becoming - Poetries, arts-based pedagogies as gender activism - Postcolonial intersections and encounters in Aotearoa, the Pacific and beyond - Philosophy and pedagogy across gender boundaries - Nomadic theory as feminist pedagogy - Hydrofeminism and education - “We make the road by walking”: gender and ecopedagogy - Pacific feminist climate activism as global pedagogy - Gender and class - Taking flight with posthuman feminism - Gender(ed) becomings with the more-than-human - Murmurations and collective movement - Looking to the skies and dreaming otherwise

Third EUI-MPI Conference on IP, Competition and Innovation
deadline: 30.04.2026
category: Event (15.10.2026 09:00 - 16.10.2026 17:00)
keywords: Intellectual property; Competition policy; Innovation incentives; Platform ecosystems
European University Institute & the Max-Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition


The relationship between intellectual property (IP) rights and competition policy is complementary in aiming to boost consumer welfare and innovation, but integrating innovation considerations into competition enforcement poses analytical and institutional challenges. Key issues include incentives, appropriability, and diffusion of innovation—especially in IP-intensive cases—while technological shifts (cumulative R&D, data-driven innovation, platform ecosystems) change how IP is used strategically. Jurisdictional differences in competition treatment of IP can create geopolitical tensions because of IP’s role in trade and the extraterritorial effects of competition rules. The Munich Conference on IP, Competition and Innovation solicits unpublished law-and-economics papers addressing cross-cutting and sector-specific issues; selected papers will be rigorously discussed over two days with attention to societal impacts.

Innovative and transformative approaches to quality inclusive education in international contexts
deadline: 30.05.2026
category: Publication
Beijing International Review of Education


It has been just over 30 years since the Salamanca Statement was endorsed by 92 governments and 25 international organisations in 1994, which marked an internationally shared commitment to inclusive education (UNESCO, 1994). The UN Sustainable Development Goals further affirm the indispensable role of quality inclusive education for a peaceful and sustainable future of the globe (UNESCO, 2015). While the definition of inclusive education is often contested, it can be usefully understood as a process that aims to maximise the presence, participation, and achievement of all students regardless of their backgrounds, and minimise any form of marginalisation, discrimination, and exclusion (Ainscow et al., 2006). Inclusive education requires an education system to adapt to student diversity through systematic changes, ranging from policy and resource distribution at a macro-level to classroom pedagogy and support at a micro-level. Inclusive education is to respect a student’s right to dignity, and it is every educator’s responsibility to build a learning environment with the right conditions for inclusion (Cantali et al., 2025). In the past few decades, we have seen landscape shifts in many countries with a growing recognition and valuing of student diversity in classrooms. The ways that countries address equality and equity issues in education systems tend to vary depending on complex economic, social, cultural, and political factors. For instance, in China, a traditional special education system operates as a way to ensure that resources and services are in place for children with disabilities, the country’s most vulnerable group to exclusion in education, while tremendous efforts have been made recently to increase access to regular schools and improve inclusive practice by reshaping teacher education programmes (Wang, 2023). In contrast, in Scotland, its unique Additional Support Needs system reaches nearly 40% of its student population and all teachers are expected to be competent in inclusive practice, whereas it still faces issues that compromise what the support system sets out to achieve (Morgan 2021; Scottish Government, 2025). There won’t be a single unified solution that can be uncritically applied across international contexts. This does not undermine the difference it makes to our understanding when we learn about, in more depth, how progress is made and how challenges are overcome in one another’s social-cultural context. Indeed, there have already been many examples that demonstrate the importance of learning across contexts (e.g., lesson study). Therefore, this special issue will bring together the latest research that adds to the global learning of innovative and transformative approaches to quality inclusive education. The collection is intended to contribute to the conceptualisation of inclusive education and create a positive impact on the future development of policy and practice.

La presente call è interessata a ricerche e studi che indaghino il ruolo dei media digitali nei processi di transizione e insediamento, di riconfigurazione sociale e culturale, di territorializzazione e deterritorializzazione, di vulnerabilità e rigenerazione urbana, coinvolgendo individui e comunità migranti, con un’attenzione particolare al contesto italiano all’interno di una più ampia prospettiva europea e transnazionale. Questa call for papers invita alla presentazione di contributi teorici e studi empirici che si concentrino principalmente (ma non esclusivamente) sul ruolo delle tecnologie digitali in relazione a: • i percorsi migratori e le diaspore; • le procedure di accesso alle istituzioni e ai servizi nel Paese di residenza; • le relazioni comunitarie nelle aree ad alta presenza migrante; • i contesti e le pratiche di vulnerabilità urbana e rigenerazione; • le pratiche e le politiche (incluse quelle culturali e artistiche) di inclusione

Sección 7 – Perspectivas decoloniales en la enseñanza de dinámicas culturales hispanoamericanas: cruzando umbrales hacia la pluralidad y la post-digitalidad. Formatos para las presentaciones (una propuesta por persona): 1: Ponencia interactiva de unos 45min (30min con 10min de discusión) 2: Taller práctico (90min) Lengua: español o alemán Es crucial que en las escuelas como lugares de socialización y formación, la enseñanza crítica y decolonial sea parte del currículo. No solo en los materiales que se utilizan sino también en la práctica docente. Es notable que haya estudiantes que llegan a su formación universitaria sin haber reflexionado sobre continuidades poscoloniales. Este hecho puede ser un indicador de la ausencia en la sociedad en general de perspectivas críticas sobre estas continuidades, o de un inadecuado tratamiento de éstas en el sistema escolar en particular. El presente panel propone crear un espacio de reflexión sobre cómo incorporar e implementar perspectivas críticas de lo poscolonial en la enseñanza de dinámicas culturales en Hispanoamérica y España, en consideración de todos los ámbitos involucrados en este proceso. Esto es considerar, junto a la enseñanza del idioma español, las transformaciones sociales de los contextos de sus hablantes y cómo éstas son abordadas y/o representadas por miembros de las respectivas comunidades. También significa considerar el contexto de aprendizaje, vale decir la escuela o centros de formación adulta, puesto que las condiciones de la poscolonialidad generan realidades también en el interior de las instituciones educacionales y se manifiestan, entre otras cosas, en los programas de enseñanza. Esta propuesta se enmarca entonces en la necesidad de cruzar umbrales epistemológicos y metodológicos para fomentar una comprensión crítica, diversa y plural que cuestione los imaginarios dominantes (Castoriadis, 2005) y dé voz a narrativas subalternas, propiciando así polifonías decoloniales. Considerando las experiencias de personas que trabajan en los distintos contextos de enseñanza, el panel busca discutir sobre perspectivas y herramientas de implementación para el fomento de una educación crítica y representativa de la pluralidad de los contextos en los que se habla la lengua. De esta manera se busca también contribuir a la necesaria transformación de currículos e inclusión de nuevas metodologías y prácticas. Se propone un abordaje interdisciplinario, que combine los aportes de la teoría poscolonial (Coronil, 2000 / Hall 2013) e interseccional (Lugones, 2008 / Mignolo, 2005 / Spivak, 2017), con un enfoque que reconoce la “mediatización profunda” (Hepp, 2020) y la continuidad entre los mundos “en línea” y “fuera de línea”, es decir, post-digitales (Knox, 2019). En este contexto es que las nuevas tecnologías y los medios pueden servir para explorar nuevas formas de enseñanza con materiales innovadores para los estudios del español, las dinámicas culturales de sus hablantes y la representación y mediatización de éstas. La interdisciplinariedad puede manifestarse también en los acercamientos metodológicos. Se invita a reflexionar sobre cómo las herramientas digitales y las plataformas de redes sociales pueden ser utilizadas para crear espacios de diálogo intercultural (López García, 2024) y de construcción colectiva de conocimiento. Se destaca la utilización del cine y otros medios audiovisuales (Troncoso Salazar, 2021) como vehículos para explorar imaginarios sobre el sur global, la diversidad de voces subalternas y su mediatización. El análisis crítico de producciones cinematográficas y series televisivas pueden reflejar realidades sociales y procesos culturales, entregando imágenes de mayor resolución, vale decir, más complejas, de las comunidades de la lengua estudiada. El panel busca entonces explorar experiencias pedagógicas que reflexionen sobre los siguientes posibles tópicos, sin limitarse a ellos: 1) Metodologías en la enseñanza del español y de estudios culturales sobre Hispanoamérica y España que incorporen una perspectiva crítica poscolonial. 2) Utilización de medios audiovisuales y digitales para explorar imaginarios emergentes subalternos. 3) Análisis crítico de sitios de redes sociales y plataformas digitales como espacios de producción cultural. 4) Desafíos y oportunidades de la post-digitalidad en la enseñanza de lenguas y culturas.
