Workshop on Regenerative Science & Methodology of Research Practice : 18th – 19th May 2026

An initiative Regenerative Futures Lab The first Faculty Workshop on Regenerative Science and Methodology..

The 2nd Faculty Workshop (18-19 May, 2026) on Regenerative Science & Methodology of Research Practice, organized by the AIESS Centre under the Regenerative Futures Lab, deepened regenerative dialogue through reflection, interconnectedness, and collective responsibility. Through immersive activities, emotional mapping, systems thinking, and other-centric inquiry, participants reimagined education, research, and coexistence as pathways toward regenerative transformation and meaningful collective futures.

Workshop on Regenerative Science & Methodology of Research Practice : 12th – 13th May 2026

An initiative Regenerative Futures Lab The first Faculty Workshop on Regenerative Science and Methodology..

The Faculty Workshop on Regenerative Science & Methodology of Research Practice began with Rethinking Knowledge, Systems & Regeneration, encouraging participants to move beyond fragmented thinking toward interconnected and ecosystemic understanding. Through Racing as One, faculty experienced the importance of collective responsibility and inclusion. Untangle the Tangle introduced systems thinking through collaborative problem-solving, empathy, and coordination, while Webs of Interaction & Intentionality fostered collective sense-making, highlighting interdependence, relational understanding, and regenerative approaches to research, education, practice, and living.

The Fourth International Conference on Regenerative Ecosystems (ICRE 2025) : 2nd – 6th December 2025

The International Conference on Regenerative Ecosystems aims to bring together the existing sustainability frameworks towards developing an eclectic systems framework and paradigm of All Interacting Evolving Systems Science (AIESS) to facilitate Regenerative Systems in the context of specific ecosystems, viz. (a) Natural Ecosystem, (b) Indigenous Ecosystem, (c) Rural Ecosystem, (d) Urban Ecosystem, and (e) Industrial Ecosystem. The AIESS Framework synthesizes the critical pillars of any ecosystem, viz., ecology, social, political, and economic parameters, to develop and propose coherent systemic models for regenerativeness and sustainability. The eight dimensions of these four critical pillars of any ecosystem include Ecology, Social Relationships, Institutions, Governance, Agriculture, Services, Manufacturing, and Organizations.
