I am a PhD student studying the influence of digital technologies on sustainable food consumption from a sociological standpoint. I would be delighted to get some insights from the research community here as to which conferences/workshops/summer schools you would recommend to gain experience and exchange ideas with a relevant peer-group. Broadly speaking, the following topical areas are of interest to me:
- Human Geography
- Environmental Sociology
- Sustainable Food Consumption
- Digital Technologies/HCI and Sustainability
- Food Activism
- Sustainability Assessment (LCA)
- Practice Theory
I am looking forward to your suggestions. Thank you very much!
Hi Gesa, You may try
International Sustainability Transitions in Manchester this year (Frank Geels, Frank Boons, maybe E. shove, Gordon Walker),
Transformations conference in Chile next year,
annual meetings of the German Environmental Sociaologist (https://ngumweltsoziologie.wordpress.com/andere-netzwerke/),
Summer school of SPRU Science Policy Unit in Sussex,
Winter school of Transdisciplinarity Systems Lab at ETH Zurich next winter, the knowledge action network of future earth may host webinas related to your topical interest http://www.futureearth.org/asiacentre/sscp-kan
There was a workshop in Nottingham this february on the topic of: How can research in the field of corporate sustainability become more forward-looking and future-shaping?
that may have some follow up.
Just some ideas.
Good luck with the PhD
Cheers
Niko
You may try the Sustainability Summit in Qatar:

It, usually, allows to meet people and research/working groups acting in the topics of your interest.
