Archipel 2026

Archipel 2026 is a transdisciplinary research conference confronting the defining challenges of the Anthropocene: the intertwined ecological, social, and systemic crises that arise as human activity reshapes planetary systems. The conference brings together researchers working on planetary boundaries, systemic and cascading risks, social-ecological resilience, climate adaptation, and the methodological challenges of studying complex Earth systems. A central theme is the need for genuinely transdisciplinary approaches that bridge natural science, social science, humanities, and design.

Archipel is designed for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who recognize that no single discipline holds the tools needed to address sustainability at planetary scale. Ecologists, geographers, political scientists, engineers, artists, and activists are all welcome, reflecting the conference's commitment to knowledge plurality. The event is particularly valuable for doctoral researchers and postdoctoral fellows seeking to situate their specialized work within a broader systemic understanding of environmental change and human futures.
