EGOS Local Hub EMORIZON

The Emorizon EGOS Local Hub extends the international Emotions and Sustainable Horizons initiative (Emonet XV) by offering a space where emotional, intellectual, and relational dimensions of organizing meet to explore sustainable futures. It will also serve as a bridge between two scientific communities - Emonet (Emotions Network) and EGOS - on a key topic for our More-than-Human Society. This means that researchers coming to Rennes for Emonet will have the opportunity to participate in the Emorizon Hub, to extend their stay to follow EGOS sub-theme 48 online from the IGR-IAE as well as other EGOS sub-themes. By merging academic reflection and community building, the Emorizon Hub contributes to EGOS's goal of rethinking the future of scholarly gatherings - less carbon-intensive, more emotionally connected, and deeply grounded in local ecosystems of knowledge and practice. Overview of the Hub schedule (outline) The Emorizon Local Hub at the IGR-IAE Rennes x CREM will run from July 8-10, 2026, in parallel with the main EGOS Colloquium (except on Saturday morning). Wednesday, July 8 - Pre-Colloquium Workshop: An afternoon blending intellectual exchange, emotional awareness, and social connection – reinforcing EGOS's inclusive model of scholarly engagement.
