On 20th October, Lund University is organizing a workshop on degrowth for organisations and their role in manoeuvring change processes, how to organise for a postgrowth economy and society, and the emerging scholarship in the field.

The need for alternatives to current production, consumption and lifestyle patterns is widely acknowledged among decision-makers, researchers, and civil society, the role of businesses and organisations in a postgrowth economy, however, remains largely unexplored.

During this half-day workshop event, we explore the implications of degrowth for organisations and their role in manoeuvring change processes, how to organise for a postgrowth economy and society, and the emerging scholarship in the field.

Bringing together practitioners and academics, we aim to co-create an improved understanding of the role of post growth and degrowth for business and society, what it means for organisations, and what the challenges are for welfare provision. We will also explore how organisations can contribute to the functioning of society, independent of economic growth.

This workshop is taking place at Lund University (Sweden). Please note that tickets for in-person attendance are strictly limited, and are primarily intended for local MSc/PhD students and researchers.
