The FRIBIS Annual Conference 2024 (7 – 9 October), held at the University of Freiburg, was titled “Towards the development of a full UBI? Perspectives on partial approaches in different welfare systems.” The conference brought together over 40 speakers and 79 registered participants, offering a hybrid format that enabled both in-person and online attendance via Zoom.

The conference was structured around three main themes: the first examining UBI as social security and its role in welfare systems, the second exploring the connection between basic income and ecological sustainability, and the third addressing international UBI models.

FRIBIS asked participants to share their personal impressions, asking questions like: Which debates have resonated most strongly? What new insights have emerged? Which questions remain unresolved? Answers to these and other questions, along with extensive photo documentation, can be found in a detailed conference report.
