Dear colleague,

Given your interest in commons and related issues, we would like to inform
you personally about a number of activities organised by the *International
Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC).* If you want to know more
about these or other related issues, do not hesitate to get in touch (for
contact details see the colofon underneath this message)!

*Tell us what you teach: survey on commons-education *

To strengthen scholarship and the sharing of scientific information on
commons among peers and with students, the IASC wants to create an overview
of courses and trainings given across the globe on commons. We are
conducting a survey together with colleagues from the *LandAcademy*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1621&qid=123664>,
who focus in particular on land governance. As many commons are dealing
with issues of land governance, there might be some overlap with
commons-issues, but we also intend to include commons which are not dealing
with land or any other natural resources in our overview. A more detailed
explanation is provided on the first page of the survey itself, see
*https://nl.surveymonkey.com/r/DTYK9ZG*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1622&qid=123664>

Your response to this survey would be most appreciated! The results will be
presented at the next *European IASC conference in Bern (May, 2016)*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1623&qid=123664>
(see underneath). Afterwards the results will also be shared via the
IASC-website. Please send us your response before the 31st of March 2016!

*Call for Contributions to Practitioners’ Labs for the European
IASC-meeting in Bern (May 2016) *

To promote the exchange of experience and ideas between academic scholars
and expert practitioners, the IASC now issues a call directed specifically
at practitioners working on commons. In the past, practitioners’ meetings
have been organized at several IASC-conferences, offering an excellent
opportunity to exchange knowledge and expertise between practitioners and
academic scholars interested in commons. The IASC hopes scholars and
practitioners will also use this opportunity at the European *IASC-Conference
in Bern*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1623&qid=123664>
(10-13 May 2016) to mutually benefit from each other’s expertise and
experience throughout all future IASC-meetings. The IASC calls on
commons-practitioners to present their initiative at the conference as well
as to formulate topics and questions they would like to see addressed at
one of the practitioners’ labs. The labs offer the opportunity to engage in
discussions between other practitioners and scholars on specific topics. In
order to prepare and facilitate this process, practitioners are asked to
provide the organizers with a description of their initiative/organization
and/or a number of questions they would like to see addressed in the
discussions. *You can find the call*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1624&qid=123664>
here. Questions and/or descriptions should be received before 1 April 2016 *via
the IASC-Conference Module*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1623&qid=123664>
.

*Registration 4th European Meeting IASC open now*

Europe has been a major driver of “glocal” processes. Therefore, the 4th
Regional European Meeting of the IASC is devoted to global connections and
local responses. It provides a space to advance our understanding of
ongoing “glocal” processes and to analyse historically how commons in
Europe have evolved and adapted to “glocal” changes. By integrating
political ecology with approaches of New Institutionalism and Critical
Theory in Anthropology, Human Geography, Political Science and History, we
propose to investigate the impacts of external changes on the perception
and evaluation of resources by actors related to the commons. This raises
the question of local bargaining power, ideologies and discourses, and of
the selection and crafting of institutional designs, which in turn affect
the access to common‐pool resources, as well as the distribution of
benefits related to the management of these resources.

Registration for this conference is open now via the Conference Module;
Early Bird rates apply until 1 April 2016. For registration, please go to

*Call for Papers 3rd Thematic IASC-Conference on Commons (Paris, 20-21
October 2016) – deadline 15 April 2016*

On 20 and 21 October 2016, SciencesPo Paris will be hosting the 3rd
Thematic IASC-Conference on Knowledge Commons. Building upon the successful
*2012*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1626&qid=123664>
and *2014*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1627&qid=123664>
thematic IASC conferences on knowledge commons, this third conference aims
to look at the normative effects and institutionalization of the many
initiatives based on knowledge commons and how commons provide new legal
tools, public policy choices, and forms of social, economic and governance
innovations. To this purpose the conference aims to take stock of the
latest developments in public policies and legal initiatives around
knowledge commons, as well as how the attempts to give a proper legal
definition of commons in different countries bring changes in law and
property regimes. The key questions that this conference will cover are the
sustainability of knowledge commons that could be achieved by giving
normative effects to the relationships and collectiveness they create, the
possible articulation between grassroots commons movements and public
policy, To such end, examples of governance models or legal revisions
organizing commons in diverse countries will be studied, particularly as
far as knowledge commons are concerned. Abstracts should be submitted
ultimately by 15 April 2016 via the *IASC Conference Module*
<https://membership.iasc-commons.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1628&qid=123664>.

fisheries and coastlines, etc), global commons, knowledge, cultural and
