Relaunch Call: Reworlding Spring School 2026 at UHasselt

We have already received many strong and inspiring applications for the Reworlding Spring School 2026. Thank you to everyone who applied!
If you have already submitted an application, there is no need to reapply - your submission remains fully valid.

As the first call was relatively short, we have decided to extend the deadline until Monday, 16 February 2026, 5 PM.

During the recent Reworlding mid-term meeting in Trento, we also took the opportunity to further sharpen the focus of the Spring School. This results in a clearer emphasis on re-institutioning and a streamlined structure of three thematic lenses instead of six.

Practical information
📍 Reworlding Spring School: Re-institutioning
🗓 4–8 May 2026
📌 UHasselt, Beguinage, Hasselt, Belgium

Together we will explore how institutions can be rethought and reshaped in times of socio-environmental crisis. This includes more-than-human perspectives, new forms of collaboration, and governance models that foreground inclusivity, care, and diversity.

Three thematic lenses

• - Politics of Institutions

• - Embodied Institutions

• - Institutions in Dialogue

Through lectures, workshops, and interactive sessions, participants will critically engage with existing institutional models and co-design alternative ones.

Who can apply
PhD students, postdocs, and early-career researchers with an interest in participatory approaches.
