Eventum UPF The International SynBYSS Conference is focused on bringing together the synthetic biology community with the explicit goal of developing young scientists worldwide. As early-career synthetic biology researchers begin their own research, there are few conferences that provide an opportunity for them to express their ideas, network effectively, or collaborate widely. Moreover, these young practitioners are an increasingly diverse group without obvious representation.

 

The 2nd International SynBYSS Conference will be held June 8–11, 2026 in Barcelona, Spain at Barcelona Biomedical Research Park, Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

]]> 2.1930110454559,41.384845733643,0 #symEventIcon En mayo de 2023 se celebró en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid el I Congreso Internacional de Humanidades Ecológicas. El evento articuló diferentes nociones de la naturaleza y las respuestas a las crisis ecosociales desde la filosofía, la ética, la estética, el arte y la comunicación audiovisual. La originalidad del Congreso fue su aspiración de generar diálogos inter y transdisciplinarios, que tuvieran en cuenta el realismo termodinámico y ecológico de las relaciones humanas en y con la Tierra. Su notable resonancia ayudó a consolidar la Red de Humanidades Ecológicas (RHECO).

Convocamos al II Congreso Internacional de Humanidades Ecológicas que tendrá lugar en Barcelona entre el 30 de junio y el 1 de julio de 2025, con la Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) como anfitriona. 

Convocan

Desde la UPF, lanza la convocatoria el Johns Hopkins University-Universitat Pompeu Fabra Public Policy Center (JHU-UPF PPC), junto al Centro de Estudios en Bienestar Planetario, y los Departamentos y Facultades en Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, Humanidades, y Medicina y Ciencias de la Vida. 

Se unen a la convocatoria otras instituciones y grupos de investigación: el Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI), el Instituto de Historia de la Ciencia (IHC-UAB) y, articulados con la RHECO, el Grupo de Investigación en Humanidades Ecológicas (GHECO) y el Grupo de Investigación en Técnica y Humanidades Ecológicas (THECO-UC3M) - ambos a través del proyecto Speak4Nature -, así como el grupo de investigación Ekopol. Desde el Instituto de Historia del CSIC, se suma el proyecto de investigación ”Cultura (post)fósil: imaginarios socio-culturales, calentamiento global y transición energética (KULTUR(P)FOSSIL)”.

¿Qué nos mueve institucionalmente?

Nuestra motivación es enlazar ideas entre los diferentes grupos interesados en las Humanidades Ecológicas. Cientos de personas participaron en encuentros sobre el rol de las humanidades en la crisis socioecológica organizados por los lxs convocantes en los últimos años (p.e., el I Congreso, la conferencia digital STREAMS, y diversas Jornadas promovidas por integrantes de la RHECO). Aspiramos a que esta edición del Congreso promueva nuevos encuentros y traiga más grupos internacionales a la conversación, fortaleciendo también la RHECO.

El idioma del Congreso será mixto (inglés/castellano). Además de las notables conexiones internacionales ya establecidas, la UPF promoverá el Congreso entre comunidades interesadas dentro de la alianza de universidades EUTOPIA. En este mismo espíritu, la incorporación de talento joven - estudiantes de grado y posgrado- al campo de las Humanidades Ecológicas y el bienestar planetario es una motivación para la organización de esta edición.

¿Qué nos motiva intelectualmente?

El II Congreso se convoca desde la UPF, una universidad que ha hecho del bienestar planetario un desafío intelectual y formativo central. De ahí que el anclaje conceptual principal de esta edición del Congreso sea la exploración de las conexiones entre las Humanidades Ecológicas y el paradigma del bienestar planetario. Las Humanidades Ecológicas aspiran a tender puentes  necesarios entre disciplinas para que se enfrenten las crisis ecosociales desde la transformación de sistemas y cosmovisiones. De igual manera, el paradigma del bienestar planetario trasciende lo técnico en la búsqueda de soluciones a estas crisis. Desde esta perspectiva, una reflexión colectiva sobre los límites planetarios se concibe indisolublemente ligada a la equidad, la justicia, la diversidad y la relacionalidad en las sociedades del presente y del pasado. Así pues, esta edición abraza la naturaleza política y moral de las conversaciones sobre el metabolismo social, como vía hacia un humanismo no antropocéntrico.

Seis senderos al bienestar planetario

Las Humanidades Ecológicas constituyen un espacio de encuentro inter y transdisciplinario entre los campos científicos, la política y la ética. En este espíritu, el II Congreso conecta orgánicamente instancias concretas de trabajo en las organizaciones convocantes, para abrirlas a investigadorxs interesadxs, y dejarlas prosperar en su interacción.

Los senderos del II Congreso invitan a fortalecer las conexiones en torno a temas centrales que están capturando la atención política e intelectual. Pensamos que son temas ineludibles y necesarios en estos tiempos. A la vez, abrazamos la sorpresa y la exploración de lo extravagante como motor creativo de transformación. Puedes ver la descripción de los senderos en la pestaña "Ejes temáticos".

Modalidades de participación

Presentaciones orales

  • Comunicaciones presenciales en sesiones organizadas por el comité organizador.
  • Se aceptan propuestas de paneles que se enmarquen dentro de los senderos descritos. De manera excepcional, el comité organizador considerará paneles fuera de estas áreas, cuando el grupo proponente justifique adecuadamente su relevancia en relación con la temática general del Congreso.
