The interdisciplinary research and development project EcoLit is inviting you to become part of their project’s final event, "Wondrous Relations: A Festival of Arts, Education and Ecology" from 7–9 September 2026 at the Orangerie Theater in Cologne, Germany.
The UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Coalition is proud to announce the formal recognition of the initiative ‘Homeless Population in Governador Valadares/MG’ as an outstanding example of humanities-anchored, transdisciplinary sustainability science.
This publication explores the internal dynamics of Câr-y-Môr, Wales’s first community-owned regenerative ocean farm. The authors argue that sustainability governance in small-scale aquaculture is primarily driven by the relational, ethical, and temporal labour of the practitioners themselves. The research highlights a fundamental tension in modern environmental management: the "technocratic environmentalism" of audits and standardised reporting often fails to align with the lived reality of marine labour, the shifting rhythms of tides, unpredictable weather, and the physical demands of the sea.
We are delighted to share The Fifth Element’s 2025 activity report. The Fifth Element’s work is “rooted in a simple but urgent conviction: that bridging the human gap between our capacity to act and our ability to understand the consequences of that action is the defining challenge of our time.” The report covers last year’s key developments and learnings across The Fifth Element’s threads of work.
News from the BRIDGES Flagship Hub on an innovative project: "From Sea to Sky" - A hybrid panel series setting out to dissolve the perceived boundaries between two of the world's most distinct landscapes. The initiative aims to create a shared intellectual atmosphere where desert and island studies can "breathe the same critical air." At the heart of the series is the concept of “archipelagic thinking.” This framework, popularised by French poet and writer Édouard Glissant in his 1990 work Poétique de la Relation, prioritises the relationships between sites that might otherwise seem disconnected. Rather than viewing islands or deserts as isolated bubbles, this approach suggests they are actually woven together by shared currents of History, Ecology, and Imagination.
