The 16th Conference of the European Society for Ecological Economics will be held at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Ghent University, Belgium from June 30 to July 03, 2026. The title of the conference is “Looking for (the) Just Judges – Promoting Sustainable and Inclusive Well-Being in Turbulent Times” referencing to the missing panel in the alterpiece of the Saint Bavo cathedral in Ghent.

The conference brings together ecological economists from across Europe, and is organized in collaboration with the city of Ghent and several local NGOs. It will host a series of keynote lectures, parallel sessions and poster sessions. Participants also had the opportunity to submit Open Special Subtracks (OSS) and Closed Special Sessions (CSS) to complement the conference programme.
