12th -14th September 2024
Co-organised by University of Applied Sciences BFI Vienna
Vienna/Austria
Recent developments in the EU need to be seen in the context of the disorder and polycrisis that has been generated by the process of disintegration of the neoliberal world order. A polycrisis is constituted by a multiplicity of shocks that may appear disparate, but that interact so that the whole becomes even more overwhelming that the sum of its parts. In the contemporary European configuration, it manifests itself through a set of interactive effects that include climate change, biodiversity loss, the Covid-19 pandemic, energy-, cost-of-living-, care, and reproduction crises, increasing inequalities, the war in Ukraine, an emergent hegemonic rivalry between the US and China, and a crisis of democracy.
The EuroMemo Group conferences in 2022 and in 2023 delved into the question of the polycrisis, analyzing its various aspects and implications. Our 2024 conference seeks to look to the future, the emerging trends in the light of European and global developments, the tensions between opposing tendencies, the intensified global competition.
This year’s EuroMemo Group conference will be jointly hosted with University of Applied Sciences, BFI Vienna and will take place on 12th -14th September 2024 (Thursday – Saturday) in Vienna/Austria.
