15 and 16 July | FEUC
In the context of the global ecological crisis we are facing, marked by the dual challenge of the energy transition and the digital transition, the concept of sustainability has become a hyper-concept. Like other key concepts of our time that have gained “urban rights” in the social sciences, the idea of sustainability has migrated from the biological sciences and an organicist register to the most diverse areas of economic and social life: demography, the management of natural resources and energy systems, scientific and technological development, the production and circulation of goods and services, the organisation of territories and local communities, public and private finance and the management models of companies and organisations.
At its 41st Meeting, to be held at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra on 15 and 16 July 2022, APHES – Portuguese Association of Economic and Social History proposes an open debate on the topics of sustainability and unsustainability, without prejudice to other thematic approaches related to the core theme of the meeting.
