• Ubiquitous pollutants - Université Gustave Eiffel (Champs sur Marne) - deadline (abstract) 12 06 2026

  Online 23 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 391 447

  This conference is designed to bring together a network of young researchers on the issues raised by "new" ubiquitous pollutants. The aim is to bring together the work of mainly doctoral and post-doctoral students in the social sciences, who are questioning the forms of appropriation and evaluation used by various players, at different scales, to live with, make sense of and work with pollutants whose persistence and ubiquity have only recently become visible. The proposed entry aims to bring together in a single object the forms of management of ubiquitous pollution, whether moral, sanitary, political, scientific or material.

• DYNAGRO - Dynamiques agraires en zones sèches - IAV Hassan II (Rabat-Maroc) and other entities - deadline (abstract) 30 06 2026

  Online 22 04 2026

  Ad Calenda 1 391 008

  Dry zones (arid, semi-arid, sub-humid) are home to complex agrarian systems, where societies compete or synergize land uses for crops, livestock and forestry. The DYNAGRO symposium will explore the resilience of these systems in the face of climatic, demographic, land, security and geopolitical pressures, the tensions and compromises between stakeholders, and the adaptations, transitions and transformations at work in these territories. International in scope, the conference will focus on the Sahel, but will also be open to all the world's drylands, with a session dedicated to wetlands.

• Les transformations des mondes sociaux de la pêche - EHESS (Campus Condorcet - Aubervilliers)- deadline (abstract) 15 06 2026

  Online 20 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 390 480

  This study day aims to analyze the transformations of the social worlds of fishing, whether artisanal or industrial, and whether practiced in maritime, lacustrine or other aquatic spaces. From a comparative perspective, our aim is to bring together work from ethnographic research both "on board" and carried out in the land-based spaces of fish trade and processing, and in the places in which they take place. We will build a collective reflection aimed at understanding how fishing societies negotiate their existence in contexts marked by ecological uncertainty, regulatory pressure, technological mutations and market recompositions.

• L'eau dans l'histoire des Alpes-Maritimes, enjeux sociétaux, juridiques et politiques - Université de Côte d'Azur - deadline - proposal (received from 30 05 2026 to 30 06 2026)

  Online 16 04 2026

  Calenda listing 1 387 603

  The distribution of water resources in the Alpes-Maritimes is constrained: most of the water consumed on the coast is stored in the Var alluvial aquifer, but most of it comes from rainfall and runoff upstream in mountainous areas. Today, as in the past, this interdependence raises many questions in terms of territorial cohesion. This symposium aims to highlight this reality through a multi-disciplinary approach in the human and social sciences. For this reason, while focusing on a historical approach, it intends to call on specialists in geography, sociology, anthropology, law, political science, urban planning and architecture.

• Les sciences du bonheur face aux polycrises - Journal "Sciences et bonheur" - deadline (abstract) 30 06 2026

  Online 16 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 388 339

  As part of a forthcoming thematic issue, Sciences et Bonheur magazine is launching a call for contributions. When we think of the current zeitgeist, "happiness" isn't necessarily the first word that comes to mind, so full is the current situation of negativity and uncertainty, be it geopolitical, economic, social or climatic. In this troubled context, happiness might seem naïve, even at odds with the issues of the moment. What might appear to be a clash of horizons is only a clash of horizons if we consider happiness as a simple individual quest for well-being?

  Announcement Calenda 1 364 149

  After the creation of the universe, the Genesis account of origins depicts Adam and Eve settling in a paradisiacal space, before their exclusion following the original transgression. This passage from the garden of abundance to the earthly world is symbolically associated with the obligation to work and the confrontation with a nature now marked by hostility. The human experience of nature is thus invested with a strong religious charge: natural elements, whether benevolent or destructive, are interpreted in many traditions as the expression of a divine will or judgment.
