<p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">With the theme of the conference, “Practicing the Commons: Self-Governance, Cooperation, and Institutional Change”, we
intend to bring together the fast growing body of scientific knowledge on the commons as an alternative governance model. The increasing popularity of commons as a governance model is visible across the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe. Citizens increasingly
form new collectives to provide energy, care, food, et cetera, and work together on the basis of self-governance and reciprocity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">During the conference there will be plenty of opportunities to connect academic research to practitioners’ experience and
vice versa. Underneath you find an overview of the main themes to be addressed, including a list of potential research questions that might be the topic of paper presentations. Soon, a call for contributions to practitioners’ labs will also be issued.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
