Welcome to the

IASC 2021 General Conference

Aim & Scope

The aim of the general conference is to focus on cross-cutting themes via panels, multi-stakeholder workshops and training workshops, as well as membership meetings and networking events. We also provide an opportunity to meet the editors-in-chief of the International Journal of the Commons and announce the Elinor Ostrom Awards.

Since we have a series of topical conferences earlier in 2021, this general meeting focuses on cross-cutting topics. We will not accept contributions that are focused on one type of commons (fisheries, forest, water, knowledge, etc), since we aim to stimulate debates across domains. The events will be live streamed. We do not include individual paper presentations at this general meeting, which can be given at the topical conferences.

Tips & Tricks for the Conference

TYPES OF

Contributions

The focus of a webinar is debate on cross-cutting topics related to the commons. Panelists may make short statements after which there is a moderated discussion during which questions from the audience are addressed. The duration of the webinar is 1 hour.

A multi-stakeholder workshop provides a podium for knowledge exchange on the commons across different social actors. These Workshop sessions can take various formats (e.g., roundtable, workshop, living lab, open discussion, etc.) and will be structured around a particular question or challenge and composed by at least two different stakeholders (e.g., citizen, practitioner, company, policymaker, researcher, activist). The maximum duration of a multi-stakeholder is 2 hours.

A training workshop aims to provide practical training to a method or approach used in commons research or commons practice.

Short films and artistic works related to the commons, interviews or other online activities.

Block off your calendar

When we attend an in-person conference, part of what makes it special is being away from home, office, and our usual daily routine. We suggest that you do the same for this virtual conference. Let your employers, students, colleagues, and family know that you are immersing yourself in this 5-day conference. We are offering real-time panel discussions and networking events. Get the real-time events that you want to attend onto your calendar first.

Interact with other participants

Encourage friends and colleagues to attend the conference with you. Utilize the discussion board to ask questions and create dialogues about various points of view. Schedule 1-on-1 virtual meet-ups with people you meet during our various events. Throughout the conference, a virtual meeting place will be available for you to interact with other attendees at any time. We will be using the wonder.me platform.

Let this event have a lasting impact

After the conference, the recordings of the panels will still be available to you. Stay connected to the participants you met while networking.
