IASC Report

The aim of this Network Meeting, which also formed part of the World Commons Week of the IASC was to enable fruitful discussion and collaboration amongst peers, and to found an annual network meeting. Around 60 commons scholars from all around the world participated online on 5-6 October 2020 to enter into exchange on own research in the fields of Institutional Analysis, Commons, Social-ecological systems, and Polycentricity. In a very enriching keynote, Prof. Harini Nagendra discussed with participants on her personal motivations and how to engage in action research. In a panel discussion chaired by Prof. Graeme Cumming, and with Prof. Andreas Thiel as panelist, participants had the chance to debate questions such as what the future research agenda on governing the commons may be.
