One of the core activities of R&D is the facilitation of networking and the flow of ideas between various actors working on degrowth, especially in academia. For this reason, as well as in order to increase the visibility of the degrowth ideas and proposals in the public space, R&D organized the 1st and 2nd International academic Conferences on Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity.
Apart from demonstrating latest research in the field, the conferences aim at promoting cooperative research and work in the formulation and development of research and political proposals.
Past conferences: Paris 2008, Barcelona 2010.
Past conferences Declarations: Paris 2008, Barcelona 2010.
