“BIEN 2024 is focused on basic income’s potential as a tool for social transformation towards an economically just, politically inclusive and ecologically sustainable world. The Congress theme is thus about constructing a transformative vision of society – built on the principles of universal sufficiency, social and distributive justice, inclusion, care, and ecological sustainability – and exploring the role of basic income in that vision, and the best strategies to achieve it. See full description of the theme of the Congress here.

“When I was invited to give the Opening Address, I wondered ‘What could I talk about?’. However, I realised that, even after more than three decades in the business, I am still learning new things that I could share.
I had also had the privilege of attending the first of the current wave of Basic Income (BI) conferences, in September 1986, in Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium, organised by the Collectif Charles Fourier. I reflected on how things have changed over the last 37 years.”

The Basic Income Earth Network Congress 2024 is being hosted at the University of Bath, UK from the 29th-31st of August 2024. The theme for the Congress is Reclaiming the Future: Basic Income and Socioecological Transformation. The event aims to hold political and academic discussions on the role a basic income and allied ideas and movements can play in a just and sustainable transformation.
We are now accepting contributions, in the forms of panels, roundtables, sessions, workshops, performances and activities, to help co-shape the agenda for the Congress. This is not a call for papers, which will follow early next year. We aim to attract participation and partnerships from a wide range of actors, movements and organizations to make this a truly rich and transformative festival of ideas. This includes those not traditionally within the basic income fold, and even those critical of the idea. The full Call for Contributions can be found here. The deadline for submissions is 15th of January 2024.
Please share this far and wide in your networks, basic income and otherwise. Please all feel free to reach out to us to further clarify or discuss any ideas you may have at biencongress2024@gmail.com.
