How do societies respond to climate change, energy and food insecurity, and the transformations of urban life? Register to join us for a workshop on 5 October 2026 in Prague and online.
The workshop aims to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and empirical findings in urban scholarship and environmental studies, while stimulating a comparative approach within these fields.
For both in-person and online participation, please register here.
Location: Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences (Na Florenci 3, 110 00 Praha 1) and on Zoom.
The event brings together researchers driven by the challenges of “green transitions”, specifically—though not exclusively—within the Central and Eastern European urban context. By inviting scholars from Tallinn University (project “From Transition to Transformations”), the Leibniz Institute for Research on Society and Space (IRS), Erkner (project “Urban Heat Transition”), alongside other specialists in the field from Technical University Vienna and Masaryk University in Brno we aim to present topical work and deliberate on our findings. Ultimately, the event is designed to foster knowledge exchange and future research cooperation.
The event marks the final year of the project “Inconspicuous Innovations and Resilience in the Urban Context”. Rather than merely presenting the culmination of five years of research, it serves as a collaborative forum for sharing experiences and discussing the complexities of researching socio-environmental change with other experts in the field.
