SUMMARY:Strategic research programs’ biennial conference: “Bridging societal and environmental fractures:creating futures”
DESCRIPTION:\nAbout the conference\n\n\n\nStrategic research programs’ biennial conference: “Bridging societal and environmental fractures:creating futures”\n\n\n\nIn recent decades, societies around the world have experienced increasingly visible fractures that threaten social cohesion, environmental vitality, and just development. The global rise of authoritarian governments has coincided with the deepening polarization, widespread disinformation, and culture wars intensifying political disagreements and eroding trust within and between communities. Meanwhile, escalating geopolitical tensions contribute to a pervasive sense of insecurity, and the triple crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution continue to undermine the ecological foundations of our societies. These trends reinforce complex, interconnected socio-environmental and economic challenges on a global scale.\n\n\n\nAddressing these challenges requires more than diagnosing crises – it calls for actively developing new pathways for living, learning, and governing. It invites us to reimagine futures by redesigning policies, technologies, and everyday practices for social justice and ecological sustainability. It also encourages a shift away from the narrow individualistic models of development toward collective visioning, a call for collaborative imagination of alternative possibilities.\n\n\n\nOur choices and actions shape our future – across political structures, technological systems, and daily routines. The Strategic Research Council’s programs play a crucial role in generating science-based societal, economic, and environmental impact by analyzing and creating alternative pathways for the future. As researchers, we engage with policymakers, the private sector, and civil society to inform decisions that can change the direction of our shared future for better.\n\n\n\nWe invite contributions from all strategic research programs and beyond to present research, discuss, and reimagine futures at our biennial conference. The event welcomes all scholars interested in advancing sustainable social, economic, and environmental wellbeing through research and debate.\n\n\n\nThe conference is organized and subsidized by the Strategic Research Council’s (SRC) research programs.\n
