We are pleased to announce that the Call for Papers and Panels for the first Digital Commons conference is now open on our website: www.digicommons.org.
The conference, titled Digital Commons: Infrastructures, Design & the Ethics of Autonomy, will take place in Athens, Greece (8–10 October 2026). It is co-organized by the Department of Social Anthropology, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, and the Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications, National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos.”
This interdisciplinary event invites critical contributions that explore digital commons not as fixed platforms or technical solutions, but as ongoing, situated struggles over autonomy, access, and collective care. Drawing from decolonial design, infrastructure studies, anthropology, STS, design research, feminist and Indigenous studies, and informatics, the conference will engage with how communities, scholars, and technologists enact commons through, about, and for digital infrastructures.
Core themes include:
Infrastructural Commoning | Law & Governance | Designing Otherwise | Value, Labor & Ownership | Anthropologies of Mediation | Technopolitics & Epistemic Justice
Submission deadline: 15 February 2026
Attendance is free of charge; no registration fees apply.
