UT Capitole organises the 20th RIODD conference dedicated to socio-environmental transitions

Organised in partnership with the University of Toulouse, the House of Human and Social Sciences, INRAE and the Toulouse Community of Universities and Institutions, this 20th RIODD conference takes place in a context marked by the exceeding of planetary boundaries, climate change and the collapse of biodiversity. It will provide a space for multidisciplinary dialogue to analyse the organisational modes that promote or hinder sustainable transitions, questioning the notion of social acceptability and possible levers for action.

Toulouse Capitole University, committed to responsible research rooted in contemporary societal issues, is proud to host this major event, which will showcase local expertise and strengthen exchanges between the international academic community, local stakeholders and civil society.

Thematic sessions, doctoral workshops and plenary conferences are on the agenda for this citizen-focused conference. While Wednesday 8 October is reserved for doctoral workshops at the University of Toulouse, visits to original initiatives related to the conference are planned in Toulouse on Saturday 11 October in the morning. This half-day will also be an opportunity to visit third places labelled ‘Lieux totem ESS – Toulouse Métropole’ through workshops organised at Les Halles de La Cartoucherie, La Cité or Les Imaginations fertiles.

Among the speakers at the conference are renowned researchers such as Camille Parmesan, an American ecologist, Dominique Méda, a French sociologist, and Christian Gollier, an economist and director of TSE, among others.
