About

The conference organizing team is made up of 50+ people. This group works together using principles of direct democracy: decisions are made in the Assembly that is held every two months. Many members are involved with degrowth in all sorts of ways: in research, as activitsts, as artists, in their everyday practices, and multiple other ways. Almost all of them are volunteers.

Official organizers are Ontgroei (the Dutch Degrowth Platform) and the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), with the collaboration of ASEED, Casco Art Institute, CodeROOD, Commons Network, Community Economies Research Network NL, Fossielvrij NL, SOMO, TNI, University of Amsterdam (UvA), WEGO-ITN, XR-NL.
