*5th International Conference on Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability
and Social Equity

Walking the meaningful great transformations? *

After Paris in 2008, Barcelona in 2010, Venice in 2012 and Leipzig in
2014, the *5th International Conference on Degrowth for Ecological
Sustainability and Social Equity will be held in Budapest from 30 August
to 3 September 2016*. <http://budapest.degrowth.org>

The upcoming conference will take place in a post-socialist environment.
Starting from complex social, economic and political challenges faced in
the region, we expect fruitful, reflective and interesting meetings and
discussions in bringing worldwide degrowth experience and perceptions.

The conference is an opportunity for the global and the regional, the
contemporary and the historical to be linked through constructive
dialogue. In September 2016, the global degrowth community and global
communities interested in degrowth will pause to reflect, observe, learn
and discuss, as well as to enjoy a convivial atmosphere, in Budapest and
numerous communities around the globe.

*Calls for papers and special sessions*

The conference will offer the following variety of formats:

/1. Special sessions/

a. Academic special sessions: Researchers are encouraged to group their
work into special sessions of 3-4 paper presentations reflecting similar
concerns, or reporting on joint or related research outputs. Special
session proposals will describe the topic of the session in up to 1700
characters with spaces and indicate a minimum of 3 presenters and titles
of their presentations. These should follow closely what the overall
session topic description outlines.

b. Degrowth-in-action special sessions: A limited number of places will
be reserved specifically for special sessions which combine theoretical
and research presentations with thematically related presentations from
practice. These special sessions will deliberately combine research and
practice to overcome academic enclosures and allow dialogue connecting
knowledge generated in degrowth thinking and interventions into
environmental and social fabrics which correspond to this knowledge.
Whilst the overall format and the leading presentations in these
sessions are expected to adhere to minimal standards of academic
communication, they can include other forms of presentation illustrative
of the practices they are presenting.

The call for special sessions will be open soon. The submission deadline
will be 31 December 2015. The submission platform will follow this
submission form
<http://budapest.degrowth.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/submission-form.pdf?5ff5f0>.
Within
a couple of weeks the platform for submission will open, but you are
welcome to start preparing your submissions now.

To ensure a high level of quality of conference inputs and debates, the
organisers will, with the support of reviewers, make a selection of
sessions and papers best suited to showcase the latest research findings
and degrowth thinking under thematic description of the conference. The
review process will run from 1 ? 31 January 2016. The submissions will
be rated according to each of the criteria below on a scale from 1-5:
does not satisfy the criterion at all (1) to perfectly satisfies the
criterion (5):
? thematic relevance,
? quality,
? clarity of presentation,
? originality,
? disciplinary confluence, and
? regional contextualisation.
All special session submissions will be further assessed by overall
coherence of overall topic and presentations contained within it. All
degrowth in action special sessions will be additionally assessed by the
balance of research and practice presentations contained therein.

/2. Individual papers/presentations/

Individual papers are standard presentations of research findings,
authored by one or more researchers. Only one coauthor per accepted
presentation should register as the lead presenter to present at the
conference. Call for individual papers will open on the 15th of January
and close  on 29th of February 2016.

If you have any questions or you need help with the submissions, please
feel free to contact us: call AT budapest.degrowth.org
<mailto:call AT budapest.degrowth.org>.

*Other calls*

After the calls for special sessions and papers, we will announce and
open the calls for other activities, which will be happening during the
conference and the degrowth week (networking, practical activities,
cultural and creative workshops and performances, open discussions etc?
and of course convivial parties). Also the stream towards Budapest
<http://budapest.degrowth.org/?p=124> announces upcoming events, leading
to the Budapest conference.
