Water Heritage in Mountainous Areas

Le projet « Water Heritage : Traditional Irrigation Systems and Uses of Water in the Mountains » (Starting Grants UNITA) vise à explorer les relations entre sociétés et milieux hydriques en région montagneuse, où l’eau est une ressource écologique essentielle, mais aussi un objet économique, social, culturel et politique de premier plan. Cette journée d’étude entend interroger ces relations à partir des cas des Pyrénées, des Alpes, des Carpates et de la Serra de Estrada, en croisant les regards pluridisciplinaires, dans une perspective transnationale. Cet appel à communications ne s’adresse qu'aux universités membres du réseau UNITA

Unleashing Transformative and Decolonised Education for Sustainability in a Globalised World

The theme of the conference is grounded in the transformative learning paradigm applied to education for sustainable development (ESD). ESD is a central element in promoting “enlightened citizenship” for all students, but also in training future professionals who will integrate a sustainable development approach into their work, regardless of the sector. This call for contributions is based on UNESCO’s 2030 Roadmap for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), published in 2020 and the 2022 Berlin Declaration, which places transformative ESD at its core.

Plurilingualism and the circulation of knowledge, imaginations, and skills

What are the dynamics and vulnerabilities?

In L’économie du XX^e siècle (The Economy of the 20th Century), François Perroux stated that “we do not have a comprehensive, coherent and usable theory of what I propose to call the ’domination effect’” Why talk about relations of domination when we are dealing with the circulation of knowledge, imaginaries, and skills in relation to linguistic diversity? When there is circulation, movement, transfer, there are differences in level, which means that knowledge, imaginations and skills do not emerge everywhere at the same time and in the same way, giving rise to differences, imbalances and potential conflicts.

Trump and Borders: assessing the first year of his second term in the White House

Les organisateurs de ce colloque souhaitent dresser le bilan de la première année du second mandat du Président républicain, sous l’angle des frontières et des enjeux qui s’y rapportent. Que ce soient les frontières qu’il souhaite renforcer, celles qu’il ambitionne de redessiner ou bien encore celles qu’il veut redéfinir, il nous a semblé que cette thématique représentait un prisme d’analyse pertinent pour mieux comprendre la politique de Donald Trump et les forces qui la structurent.

The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension

1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium

The 1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium ‘The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension’ aims to reflect on issues of insularity and archipelagos in the conception of today's world, marked by environmental crises, new trends in human development and reinterpretations of place and its dynamics. Thinking about islands and archipelagos, in all their trans- and inter-material dimensions, equivalences and disparities, influences the conception not only of these discontinued worlds from their continental matrix (in some cases), but also of territories which are assumed to be outside the continent, with ontic possibilities of a truly archipelagic context.

Projecting into space: territory(ies), terroirs, landscapes and borders

Ce colloque sera l’occasion pour les jeunes chercheur·euses de réfléchir ensemble aux interactions symboliques entre les individus, les sociétés et l’espace géographique et aux représentations qui y sont associées, dans une orientation résolument interdisciplinaire. Les échanges en marge du colloque seront l’occasion de décloisonner des concepts souvent enfermés dans les « frontières » disciplinaires.

PhD on "Signs of Disaster"

Geosemiotics of Traces and Imprints of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident in the Tōhoku landscape

This PhD project aims to document the imprints and traces of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster through mapping, using an ethnographic and semiotic approach. It specifically seeks to explore the possibility of creating memorial traces of a radioactive disaster whose main characteristic is to be invisible, odorless, soundless, intangible—in a word, imperceptible.

Humanitarian aid: An unexpected driver of territorial planning

« EchoGéo » Journal 76 (April-June 2026)

It is generally accepted that humanitarian aid has an important political dimension. This issue will explore a particular dimension of aid’s political impact: the way in which it concretely shapes territories. This issue will bring together articles based on case studies where aid has played a leading role in spatial planning, whether this planning process was deliberately perceived and designed as such or whether it became established de facto, without any concerted planning; whether it was the result of the intervetion of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international organisations (IOs) or emanated from the State.

Rock, Activism and Liberation

The objective of this conference is to take a closer look at the various forms of activism and empowerment of rock and contemporary music performers, through their work, their positions and their career, focusing in particular on activism based on a desire for liberation and in opposition to ideological, social, economic, cultural or religious norms. These topics will be addressed within a broad chronology, from the aftermath of the Second World War to the present day, through all types of music that fall within the loose definition of "rock", and on the basis of deliberately interdisciplinary approach.

A Model for Nature Positive Approaches in World Heritage Cities for Climate Resilience

À l’heure du changement climatique, il est urgent de repenser la relation des habitants et du patrimoine bâti avec les rivières, les mers et les autres étendues d’eau. Les approches écosystémiques peuvent aider à (re)créer des espaces habitables, durables et justes, en accord avec des pratiques historiques, tout en protégeant, en adaptant et en apprenant de l’histoire et du patrimoine. Le patrimoine parisien des rives de la Seine offre une étude de cas précieuse pour explorer à la fois les défis et les opportunités de vivre avec l’eau.

Heritage Villages and Tourism: Local Issues, Global Experiences

In a societal context that calls for practices to be reinvented for a sustainable territorial development (Knafou, 2023), heritage villages are at the crossroads of several issues, both in terms for the actions of inhabitants and the participation of visitors and tourists. This conference, organised by ESTHUA, the National Institute of Tourism - INNTO France of the University of Angers, and ICUNA, the Joint Institute of the Universities of Ningbo and Angers, will focus on several issues relating to the heritage of villages and the challenges they face in terms of tourism, in particular: adaptation to local society, the natural, environmental and intangible dimensions of the heritage on offer, adaptation to tourist numbers and the involvement of local people in tourism development projects.

Eid: The geopolitics of sheep

The sheep trade, in and around the Muslim world, is spectacular in terms of its scale, its impact on people's daily lives and its territorial impact. The Eid-al-Adha is its most important periodic event. The livestock trade and the festival of sacrifice are undergoing multifactorial and multiscalar reconfigurations that are the result of several major congruent movements. We need to look at these social phenomena in their global dimension, as a little-known embodiment of globalisation that requires a comparative international and multi-sited approach, revealing deepening social and spatial polarisations at the local level and a complex ‘geopolitics of sheep’ at the international level.

Current State of Haitian Migration

Études caribéennes N° 61, 2025

In Haiti, the migration issue is a key structural factor in understanding the realities of this society. Since the country’s first occupation by the United States in 1915, national life has been punctuated by the massive displacement of Haitians, making it a country of emigration. From 1915 to the post-2010 years, marked by the January 12 earthquake, the country experienced at least six major waves of migration. Starting from these considerations as a powerful factor of expulsion, there is an invitation to take stock of a century and more of Haitian emigration.

Bringing monuments to life: Thinking about visitor experiences

Ce colloque vise à questionner le rapport des publics aux monuments à partir de la notion d’expérience, et cela dans une dimension internationale. Le terme d’expérience, souvent polysémique, se situe à la croisée de plusieurs disciplines (muséologie, sociologie, sciences de l’information et de la communication, tourism studies, etc.) qui interrogent la manière dont les visiteurs interagissent et s'approprient les lieux patrimoniaux.
