ITD27: International Transdisciplinarity (ITD) Conference - University of Évora

We are pleased to announce that the next International Transdisciplinarity (ITD) Conference, ITD27, will be hosted by the University of Évora in Évora, Portugal from 31 May through 4 June 2027.

ITD27 is organized in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Inter- and Transdisciplinarity (ITD Alliance), the Network for Transdisciplinary Research (td-net) at the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences, MED – Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development and CHANGE – Global Change and Sustainability Institute, at the University of Évora. The working title of the conference is “Bridging Knowledge and Networks: Inter- and Transdisciplinarity for Transformative Change”. Current themes being explored include the role of inter- and transdisciplinarity in systemic transformation across academia, funding institutions, policymaking, and other societal sectors, and how to strengthen networks that foster lasting collaboration. These discussions are still evolving and build on key insights from previous conferences. The goal is to co-create a space that deepens dialogue and connections across individuals, institutions, and global networks—advancing transformative change through collaboration.

The call for contributions is now open, inviting researchers, practitioners, policymakers, students, and other stakeholders to submit their contributions by June 30, 2026.
