The local organising committee for the 2021 Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) Congress in Glasgow are very excited to announce our call for papers for this virtual, online event.
We are inviting you to submit papers and pitches for talks, workshops and other activities that should be represented online at the 22nd BIEN Congress. To submit yours please follow this link.
The theme for the Congress is ‘Idea to Reality’. We want to consider how we take basic income from a big idea for big change to a reality.
The Congress will be hosted digitally only from Thursday 18th – Saturday 21st August 2021. Exact details are to be confirmed but this will be a programme packed with perspectives on basic income in Scotland, the wider UK and around the world.
We will present insights into the status of basic income in Scotland, including: the feasibility study into a Scottish BI experiment, political attitudes and work on basic income, civil society perspectives, creative and cultural demonstrations that represent the Scottish debate.
We welcome your contribution to the Congress. To submit your proposal for consideration please complete this proposal form before the deadline Friday 12 March 2021.
We will be encouraging presenters to submit their papers before the Congress so that they are available for all participants, as attendance will be online only. The changed circumstances of this Congress mean that access to papers and presentations in advance will be more important and inclusive for all. Having these available online will also facilitate feedback and review by a wider range of participants and so improve the potential submission to Basic Income Studies and other outlets. We would welcome the presentations by 6th August 2021.
Publication opportunities:
Papers presented at the BIEN congress will go into the pool of papers to be submitted for the Basic Income Studies prize winning essay of 2021, if submitted by October 1st – the annual deadline for the BIS Prize entry.
To be considered for the BIS prize, papers would have to be of the standard scholarly format and length of academic paper journal submissions. The editors of Basic Income Studies also encourage submissions of congress papers of a suitable format to the regular review process. Papers entered this way will also be considered for the prize’.
The prize is normally judged by a committee of the editors and two additional appointed judges. For the detail of the prize, please see: https://www.degruyter.com/view/journals/bis/bis-overview.xml

It’s a case of giving all the positives that will be of benefit to the human race because people in power will be looking at all the negatives I believe its the future to free people from wage slavery and live a happy well balanced life

De esta forma implementar esta renta es factible no solo económicamente también lo es políticamente.
En programas de radio, de TV, en otros medios, y en numerosas conferencias (en universidades, legislatura, etc.) se está difundiendo esta propuesta. Es un aporte al movimiento mundial por una renta básica universal incondicional por qué incluye nuevos conceptos y estrategias que facilitan su implementación.
I’m the “Intrapreneurs Evangelist.” I celebrate, teach and support people leading big change within established organizations so that they realize their vision for change faster, with less isolation and resistance.
Several topics I regularly speak on would be relevant for this year’s theme, including Becoming a Credible Leader of Change, Three Common Types of Resistance & How to Overcome Them, or Communicating Change: How to Get Others on Board. I welcome a discussion about which session(s) you would find most helpful.
