Call for Practitioners’ Labs
As we intend to bring together not only scholars working on commons, but also practitioners involved in commons or organizations dealing with commons from around the globe, several Practitioners’ Labs will be organized. At these labs, practitioners will get the opportunity to put forward their experience on commons-issues and at the same time discuss the challenges and questions they encounter with academics working on these issues, as well as with fellow-practitioners and policy makers.
Proposals can be submitted for
- full panels of approx. 6 participants,
- contributions to the panels mentioned as in 1.
- contributions to one of the already prepared Sponsored Practitioners’ Labs (see http://www.iasc2017.org/practitioners-labs/ )
- individual proposals of practitioners who would like to present their organisation at one of the Practitioners’ Labs

Please do notice that this call is also open to contributions by academics, but they should be aware that the Practitioners’ Labs are explicitly designed for exchanging experience on practical issues and not for the presentation of academic papers.
