RO #4

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shown that science can lead, and that science-based decision making is not necessarily slow and rigid. Throughout the conference stakeholders will be exposed to innovative, transformative, and multi-disciplinary research that focuses on societal change, inequality, and transformations

The pandemic has also demonstrated the necessity to re-imagine how people organise and work. This includes both conference attendance and organisation. One of the conference’s objectives is to re-organise and re-imagine what ‘access’ means for the conference through access/voice.

The conference is organised by grounding science clearly in practice and creating a constant flow of ideas between practitioners and academia. The audience will be able to actively contribute and coproduce reimaginations in a number of thought-provoking workshops facilitated by practitioners and researchers, as well as in more traditional conference format asking questions to the researchers and practitioners.
