Between 13 and 15 November 2024, Iscte hosted the 4th edition of the SSE&Commons conference on ‘Beyond the Decarbonisation Consensus: The Ethics and Practices of Sympoiesis’, organised by CEI-Iscte. The event brought together international experts to explore the concepts of sympoiesis, a system of doing-together that proposes new forms of co-creation between humans and non-humans in the context of environmental and sustainability issues.
