LANDac will be back in 2026, with a conference on the theme of Land, Conflict and Peace. This conference offers the opportunity to explore issues at the crossroads of land governance and peace, conflict, and humanitarian studies. It invites reflection on how war and its aftermath reshape our understanding of land governance and call for new, context-sensitive approaches. Such reflection is more urgent than ever: today, around 50 countries of the world are experiencing war or organized violence, affecting roughly one in six people worldwide. In the current context of myriad global and local conflicts, this important theme aims to encourage rich discussion between participants from academia, practitioners, and policy makers.
As last year, the conference will be integrated into a Summer School hosted by Utrecht University.
Please stay tuned for a Call for Sessions, to be published by 15 December.
The conference will be supported by RVO/LAND-at-scale, and Critical Pathways at Utrecht University
If your organization is interested in supporting the conference, please contact us at gemma.vanderhaar@wur.nl, with cc Landac2026@gmail.com.
More details to follow, but in the meantime, please contact us on Landac2026@gmail.com with questions.
