After Development Lectures

Organised by ERASME and STC, the After Development Lectures will take place online every year in december. The event is a collaboration between ERASME and researchers from several universities and research institutes in Europe, the US and Australia. The aim of the lectures is to present recent work in the field of strong sustainability, with a focus on the “beyond growth/development” narrative. As an increasing number of academics and practitioners call for a shift to socioecological wellbeing within planetary boundaries, the lectures will address some of the solutions, pathways and theories designed for this transition and will foster discussions on their applicability and coherence. 

This year, the After Development Lectures are planned from december 12 to 16th, 2022. The event is structured around Food Systems into five thematic days. 
Day 1 is led by Arnaud Diemer (UCA/CERDI/ERASME/HVL, Postgrowth Institute) and is dedicated to local and global food systems.
Day 2 is led by Eduard Nedelciu  (University of Bergen, Norway) and is concerning post-growth in food systems. takes a look at Circular Bioeconomy, where speakers will address the concepts of Circular Economy, Bioeconomy, Smart Village Development, but also methodologies to assess CBE, such as participatory system dynamics modelling. 
Days 3 and 4 are led by Anthony Fardet and Edmond Rock (INRE, France) and are dedicated to Food Systems Transformation Process
Day 5 is led by Manuel Morales (UCA/CERDI//ERASME) and will tackle Food systems, Digitalization and Technology.
