CALL FOR PAPERS – Europe-Asia Forum 2027, 9-10 March 2027, Institute for European Studies

The Europe-Asia Forum 2027 call for papers and panels is now online.

Back to the future?

New challenges and/or historical continuities
in political, economic and cultural conflicts.
A comparison Europe/Asia.

Forum Europe-Asia, 9-10 March 2027, Institute for European Studies, ULB, 39 avenue Roosevelt, 1050 Bruxelles

Coord: François Foret and Juliette Schwak

Political, economic and cultural discourses in contemporary Europe and Asia are dominated by the assumption that societies are facing unprecedented changes. Meanwhile, references to the past are multiplying as resources to come to terms with or resist ongoing transformations. The invocations of ‘golden ages’ or traumatic pasts (wars, colonialisms, totalitarianisms, genocides, extractivisms) shape public debates, governance and relations both within and between societies.

The longing for lost national unity, prosperity, or ways of life is not only an emotional remembrance of what has disappeared or is under threat. It can also trigger projections into the future. Nostalgia and anticipation are two faces of the same coin in the business of uncertainty. This highlights the complex relations between change, resistance and adaptation.

The resilience of the past as a factor in political (de)legitimisation calls into question the novelty of ongoing changes and how they should be accommodated. Contrasting different periods and regions raises the question of whether the current state of affairs is utterly unique. The Forum aims to study the comparisons and interactions between European and Asian societies and states.  Contributions focusing on Asian countries that are comparable to European ones in terms of their political, economic, social, cultural and/or technological development are especially welcome, with a particular focus on Japan and Korea. Special attention is given to transnational dynamics between states and societies that come into play in internal and external affairs. Regional integration in Europe and Asia is a key form of these transnational dynamics in reference to the institutions, politics and policies of intergovernmental organisations (e.g., European Union, Association of Southeast Asian Nations).

Contributions combining theoretical ambition with an innovative data-driven methodology from a multidisciplinary and multilevel perspective are especially welcomed. Relying on past experiences, panels that develop teamwork between specialists of European and Asian countries joining their expertise to elaborate a common framework of their respective case studies will be given priority.

Call for Papers: 22nd Workshop on New Institutionalism (NIW) at at WU Vienna, Department of Management, Austria

We are delighted to invite you to the 22nd New Institutionalism Workshop (NIW), to be held at WU Vienna, Department of Management, Austria. The NIW is an annual event aiming to unite scholars from diverse disciplines, countries, and academic traditions to push the theoretical and empirical frontiers of research on institutions in a broad sense. The NIW provides an open forum for experienced academics, early career scholars, as well as doctoral students to meet and have engaging conversations, for reflections on existing work, as well as sharing innovative research ideas and approaches.

 

We particularly welcome early-stage ideas and papers and encourage submissions that introduce novel topics, employ innovative methodologies, explore different research contexts, or offer fresh perspectives. Contributions that deviate from mainstream themes and theories are particularly valued, as they will enhance and broaden our understanding of institutions and institutional phenomena. We are also interested in literature not typically included in standard institutional theory, as well as intellectual sources not available in English. In line with the spirit of the new institutionalism network (https://www.newinstitutionalism.org/), the NIW also fosters collaboration and exchange, particularly among scholars from different disciplines and those bridging various academic fields.

We are therefore delighted to invite a broad range of scholars to submit their abstracts to present their work during the workshop. We look forward to many enjoyable and productive discussions during the workshop. Participants are expected to be present throughout the event and actively engage in discussions.

Like few other places, the City of Vienna seamlessly blends culture, commerce, politics, and history. Once the grand capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it served as a central gateway between Western and Eastern Europe, governing vast territories and shaping international diplomacy. At the turn of the 20th century, dynamic and cosmopolitan Vienna rivalled London and Paris as an epicentre of intellectual, artistic, and scientific life. Its magnificent Ringstraße architecture, grand palaces, and historic coffeehouses still convey these rich legacies. Long a crossroads of central Europe, centuries of trade, diplomacy, and migration have fostered a rich cultural diversity that defines the city today. This constant influx of talent and ideas sparked major intellectual and social innovations – from pioneering developments in psychology, economics, and legal theory to progressive social housing programs, and world-renowned public infrastructure. Home to vibrant arts, classical music, modern innovation, and an unparalleled quality of life, Vienna continues to navigate the intersections of tradition, service, and diplomacy.

As one of Europe’s largest and leading business and economics universities, WU Vienna is a research-driven organisation with a strong public and societal mission. Holding prestigious triple-crown accreditation, the university is home to world-leading scholarship, featuring a renowned international faculty, a vibrant doctoral community, and extensive global collaborations.

Over the last two decades, the Department of Management has established itself as a premier centre for impactful research in organisation studies, public and nonprofit management, organisational change, and related disciplines. The department regularly hosts major international conferences and high-profile academic workshops, including previous editions of the EGOS Colloquium and the NIW – bringing together leading scholars from around the globe to shape the future of management thought.

The University’s campus is within easy reach of accommodation, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. Vienna is well connected by train to many European cities, and its airport features connections to European and overseas destinations.

Participants will find it easy to navigate by public transport, or even on foot and by bicycle. The campus sits in the city’s Knowledge Quarter, a hub of innovation, science, and culture – a fitting setting for critical debates about institutions and the institutionalised.

For further information, feel free to contact us via orgstudies@wu.ac.at.

Important Dates and Information:

  • Submission of short papers: from October 15 to November 30, 2026 (between 800 and 3,000 words) via orgstudies@wu.ac.at.
  • Decision on acceptance by: December 22, 2026
  • Online registration starts in January 2027

Fees:

  • General: 250 €

Since the 1990s, online education has steadily expanded—even amid economic downturns, technological disruption, and global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic—highlighting both the immense potential and persistent complexity of teaching and learning in digital contexts (Manzoor & Bart, 2021; Seaman et al., 2018; Tate & Warschauer, 2022). This growth has not only changed where learning happens, but how knowledge is constructed, relationships are built, and communities are sustained (Allaire et al., 2023). Despite this expansion, educators across sectors continue to report feeling underprepared for the pedagogical, technological, and relational demands of online instruction (Bolliger & Halupa, 2022; Hathaway et al., 2024; J., 2022). Many navigate shifting expectations without adequate training, time, or institutional support.

At the same time, learners and instructors are increasingly redefining the possibilities of education—using online spaces as laboratories for experimentation, creativity, and reimagined connection (Barbour & Hodges, 2024; Kokkinos, 2022). From asynchronous discussions that deepen reflection to real-time simulations that engage students in authentic problem-solving, digital environments have become more than stopgaps for in-person instruction; they are dynamic, evolving ecosystems of practice (Allaire, 2024; Allaire & Killham, 2022, 2023). As the field continues to grow, so too does the need for critical, cross-disciplinary scholarship that interrogates, celebrates, and co-constructs the future of teaching and learning online.

This series recognizes this tension: between the unfamiliar and the innovative, between institutional inertia and instructional ingenuity. It brings together voices across disciplines, geographies, and educational levels to explore the evolving nature of online learning in an increasingly interconnected and tech-driven world.

Series Description

Teaching and Learning Online is an interdisciplinary book series that spotlights research, theory, and practice in digital education across diverse educational settings. From the use of artificial intelligence and immersive virtual platforms to culturally responsive design and global collaboration, each volume explores how educators and learners are navigating—and shaping— the future of learning online.

Volumes in the series are grounded in both scholarly inquiry and practical application. Whether focused on early literacy in virtual classrooms, STEM instruction in international online programs, or equity-driven teacher preparation in digital spaces, each volume seeks to illuminate how technology intersects with pedagogy, culture, and human connection. Whether exploring equity in digital spaces, adapting traditional pedagogies for online platforms, or designing responsive content for multilingual or marginalized learners, TaLO volumes are grounded in both rigor and relevance.

We invite single-author works, collaborative volumes, and edited collections organized around a cohesive theme in online learning. Contributions may explore PreK–12, higher education, community-based learning, teacher education, or informal educational contexts. All volumes should address both the why and how of online teaching—offering theoretical insight, innovative strategies, and, where relevant, lesson plans, tools, or case studies that readers can use in their own settings.

Topics of Interest

The Teaching and Learning Online (TaLO) series welcomes proposals that reflect the rich diversity of learners, contexts, and technologies shaping online education today. We invite volumes that are broad or focused, practical or theoretical, discipline-specific or interdisciplinary. Volumes may center PreK–12, higher education, teacher preparation, informal learning, or professional development.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Grade-Level and Discipline-Specific Approaches
    • Online teaching strategies in specific subjects (e.g., mathematics, literacy, science, social studies) across elementary, secondary, and postsecondary settings.
  • Integrating Emerging Technologies
    • Innovative uses of digital tools and platforms—such as learning management systems, virtual reality, gamification, and mobile apps—in online classrooms.
  • Adapting Traditional Pedagogies for Online Spaces
    • Translating and transforming face-to-face instructional methods and frameworks (e.g., inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, culturally responsive teaching) into online modalities.
  • Meeting Diverse Learner Needs
    • Designing inclusive digital environments for students with varying needs, including multilingual learners, students with disabilities, and gifted and talented students.
  • Social Justice and Technology
    • Examining the role of digital education in advancing (or hindering) equity, activism, and systemic change.
  • Urban and Rural Perspectives in Online Learning
    • Addressing place-based challenges, infrastructure gaps, and community-specific strategies for digital access and engagement.
  • Supporting Historically Marginalized Groups
    • Exploring strategies for affirming and supporting Black, Indigenous, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented communities in virtual learning spaces.
  • Social-Emotional Learning in Online Environments
    • Approaches for fostering connection, emotional well-being, and relational trust in digital classrooms.
  • AI-Powered Learning and Ethical Implications
    • Investigating how artificial intelligence and machine learning are shaping instruction, assessment, and personalization—and the ethical questions they raise.
  • Culturally Sustaining and Multilingual Pedagogies
    • Leveraging language, culture, and identity in online environments through translanguaging, Indigenous frameworks, and global learning models.
  • Global Virtual Collaborations and Cross-Cultural Learning
    • Designing and studying international partnerships, virtual exchanges, and globally networked classrooms.
  • Reimagining Assessment in Digital Spaces
    • Innovative approaches to online feedback, formative and summative assessment, and authentic demonstrations of learning.
  • Designing for Neurodiverse Learners

    • Addressing screen fatigue, isolation, and mental health concerns for both students and educators in online contexts.
  • Professional Learning and Faculty Development
    • Preparing and supporting educators to design, facilitate, and reflect on high-quality digital instruction and professional growth.

    • Exploring the role of data in online learning—its benefits, biases, and implications for surveillance, privacy, and power.
  • Microlearning, Badging, and Future Credentials
    • Investigating modular learning, digital certifications, and alternative credentialing pathways in higher education and workforce development.
  • Family and Community Engagement in Online Learning
    • Reframing the role of families, caregivers, and community partners in supporting online student success.

This Special Issue aims to connect nature-based solutions (NbS) with emerging science on global tipping points and resilience in coupled social–ecological systems. It will examine how NbS can reduce non-climatic pressures and the risk of crossing damaging ecological thresholds, strengthen resilience as systems approach critical transitions, support recovery of degraded ecosystems, and create conditions for positive, self-reinforcing change. Contributions will investigate ecological, technological, governance, financial and social mechanisms that determine whether NbS remain local interventions or scale into transformative pathways. Particular attention will be given to critical systems, such as tropical forests, wetlands, peatlands, coral reefs, coastal ecosystems, river basins, agricultural landscapes and cities. Comparative perspectives across the Amazon, Congo Basin and Borneo are especially encouraged, alongside studies from other vulnerable regions, to identify transferable principles while respecting ecological, institutional and cultural differences.

List of topic areas

  • Preventing negative tipping: NbS for reducing anthropogenic pressures, protecting ecological thresholds and strengthening resilience.
  • Recovery and positive tipping: restoration, regeneration and ecological feedbacks capable of producing self-reinforcing recovery.
  • Critical social–ecological systems: comparative evidence from the Amazon, Congo Basin and Borneo, alongside wetlands, peatlands, coral/coastal systems, river basins, agricultural landscapes and cities.
  • Enabling transformation: governance, finance, institutions, Indigenous and local knowledge, equity, community participation and cross-border cooperation for scaling NbS.
  • Evidence and foresight: thresholds, early-warning indicators, remote sensing, AI/modelling, monitoring, metrics and evaluation of resilience, positive tipping and cascading impacts.

Through learning from demonstration, imitation learning (IL) has become a central paradigm that enables intelligent agents to acquire complex behaviours by observing expert demonstrations. By leveraging these demonstrations, imitation learning reduces data requirements and accelerates the deployment of intelligent agents in real-world applications. This Collection welcomes research focusing on robust imitation learning under domain shift and partial observability in physical-system-driven simulators or real-world applications.

This Scientific Reports Collection welcomes original research on imitation learning. Narrative review articles are also welcomed for consideration in our sister journal Scientific Reviews. For further information, please view the ‘Participating Journals’ below.
