Exploring the Foundational Economy for a Just Transition
Programme

From the 14-16 September 2023 we welcome the 6th Foundational Economy Conference in the heart of Vienna! During our conference there will be keynote speakers and plenary sessions, parallel sessions as well as working groups and city walks. Keynotes will be given by Julie Froud, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster from the University of Manchester, Corinna Dengler, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster from the Vienna University of Economics and Business, Mathew Lawrence, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster from the Common Wealth Think Tank and Max Koch, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster from Lund University.

Multiple crises – war, global warming, disasters, famine and social injustice – are generating heightened insecurity among populations and trigger the search for security and stability. Defending, strengthening and expanding accessible, affordable and sustainable foundational goods and services is thus a cornerstone of an eco-social transformation that can secure everyone's basic needs. This conference brings together academics and practitioners to critically engage with the concept of the Foundational Economy and explore potentials for strengthening and building better foundational systems. A key concern thereby is to put approaches to the Foundational Economy in conversation with feminist and intersectional perspectives on social provisioning  and eco-social transformation.
