• (...) operational philosophy for the development of Africa and the humanization of the world theme administrative ethics and the fight against corruption in Africa -Université A. Ouattara (Côte d'Ivoire)-deadline (abstract) before 31 07 2026

  Online 20 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 402 310 (extracts)

  The underdevelopment of African states cannot be reduced to a lack of resources; it is largely due to the mismanagement of these resources. Indeed, the continent has an abundance of resources, both natural and human. There are major mineral deposits, such as gold, diamonds, oil, gas, cobalt, uranium, bauxite, copper, coltan, manganese, iron and so on. There is no shortage of human resources to exploit these resources and accelerate development. The continent abounds in qualified human skills, such as engineers, technicians, doctors and professors. This congress on operational philosophy will examine a crucial question: can administrative ethics contribute to reducing corruption in African states?

• Housing between market, law and solidarity - FLEPES and other entities - deadline (abstract) before 15 07 2026

  Online 20 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 400 388 (extracts)

  This call for papers invites us to explore housing in terms of distributive justice, recognition, ownership, regulation, territorial solidarity, financing, legal status, local governance and social vulnerability. This colloquium aims to take note of the complexity of the housing approach, which cannot be limited to an abstract opposition between housing as a commodity and housing as a right, but rather to think of it as a field of tension between several normative and institutional logics.

• Ageing. Je vieillis, nous vieillissons: de la complexité des vieillissements pluriels - "Cahiers de systémique" - deadline (article proposals) before 30 11 2026

  Online 07 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 394 491 (extracts)

  This issue of Cahiers de systémique proposes to address a phenomenon that is widely shared but rarely dealt with from the point of view of the dynamics of complex systems: aging, understood as a biological process (cells, organs, organism), a biographical process (individual trajectories marked by ordeals, e.g. widowhood, loss of autonomy), and a collective process (demographic, institutional and cultural transformations).

• La permission - Université de Franche-Comté (Besançon) - deadline (abstract) 01 06 2026

  Online 07 05 2026

  Calenda announcement 1 396 878 (extracts)

  This call for papers focuses on the notion of permission in law, understood as a category. The event aims to question its theoretical status, diversity and functions, distinguishing in particular the different forms of permissive acts (authorization, tolerance, empowerment). It also aims to analyze the growing role of authorization mechanisms in contemporary legal systems, marked by logics of prior control. At the crossroads of general legal theory and the branches of positive law, the aim is to clarify the place of permission in the typology of norms and its practical implications.

  This symposium will examine the ways in which digital spaces contribute to the construction of social representations relating to climate change and environmental transitions. It will examine both the content published and the socio-technical logics that structure its production, circulation and prioritization, as well as the ways in which it is appropriated by online communities.

• Les sciences sociales à l'écoute du monde (Médias, archives et imaginaires sonores) - Collège de France - deadline (abstract) before 15 07 2026

  Online 27 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 392 727

  This resolutely multidisciplinary call for papers for a study day aims to bring together research that shares a common focus on the social uses of sound. Our approach aims to analyze how sounds are composite objects that become issues of struggle. It also aims to show how a form of distortion necessarily imposes itself when we study sound environments, due to our scientific methodologies of investigation and collection, but also to the techniques of production and dissemination of sound materials. This distortion precisely reflects the varied uses to which sound is constantly put.

• Mountain infrastructures and their vulnerability: design, governance and transformation - "Revue de géographie alpine" - deadline (abstract) before 01 09 2026

  Online 23 04 2026

  Calenda announcement 1 391 659 (extracts)

  This thematic issue is devoted to mountain infrastructures. These infrastructures have, on the one hand, a physical and technical materiality (relative to the practices of users and/or managers, and at the heart of operational issues) and, on the other hand, an economic existence (in terms of management or financing). In both cases, we need to consider these infrastructures through the prism of the socio-technical and economic systems at the heart of which they are located, as well as through their environmental, political and historical dimensions.

• Les communs d'urgence : dynamiques citoyennes et coopérations institutionnelles face aux crises contemporaines - Sciences Po Rennes and CESI Saint-Nazaire - deadline (abstract) before 30 06 2026

  Online 23 04 2026

  Calenda announcement 1 392 034 (extracts)

  Contemporary crises, such as those caused by extreme climatic events or pandemics - notably that of Covid-19 - have revealed the capacity of societies to produce unprecedented forms of collective action, situated at the interface between citizen initiatives, social innovation and public action. Among these dynamics, the "emergency commons" constitute a fertile object of analysis for questioning the transformation of public action and modes of territorial governance.
