21 Streams of Interest with 28 Attractors behind them.

These streams of interest are subject to (long-term) collaborative research synergies and should aim at outputs such as on-line and off-line discussions (before, during and after the conference), curated panels, roundtables, workshops and/or collections of papers. Attractors are welcome to encourage individual and collective submissions of abstracts and full papers in order to sustain focused interdisciplinary conversations (“mutalogues”) that can develop the(ir) streams of interest.

Connect with Attractors at MutaMorphosis Mutalogues conversation platform (or request e-mail contact) | Call for Abstracts
