The aim of the Lesvos Conference is to provide a forum for sharing experiences, practices, critical reflections, methodological as well as empirical advancements on research for and about social ecological and socio-spatial justice. What tasks do social innovation and territorial development research have today and in the future? What role can the territorial commons play for greater socio spatial justice? What methodological and structural constraints and challenges exist for action research in social and social-ecological change strategies? These and other pressing questions will be the focus of what we hope becomes a stimulating gathering of academics, activists, policy makers, artists.

The conference is developed with the support of the INDIGO research project on "Innovating spatial development planning by Differentiating land ownership and Governance" funded by the Flemish innovation agency IWT (2015-2018).

The action research project aims to understand how land use rights are governed and how alternative commons-based ownership regimes can be built to counter the enclosure of land, privatization, fragmentation, social exclusion etc.

The conference is hosted and supported by the Department of Geography at the University Aegean.
