Events

In order to promote the dissemination of cutting-edge research in the areas of innovation, knowledge, and organization, IKON hosts and organizes a wide range of events.

IKON Practiced-Based Studies Summer and Winter SchoolLink opens in a new window

The International Summer School on Advanced Practice-based Studies is an annual initiative aimed at developing and promoting practice-based studies. By bringing together the leading scholars in the field, the School aims to become a primary centre for the elaboration and dissemination of this new development in the study of social, technological, and human phenomena. Further information on the 2026 edition can be found on the Summer School website.

The Ethnography Circle (paused)Link opens in a new window

The Circle, which ran from 2013 to 2022, was a series of informal, multidisciplinary discussions that alternated between presentations by leading ethnographers and group sessions in which participants reflected on their ethnographic research practices. In short: an ethnographic self-help group. The initiative was paused in 2022. We are regrouping and currently rethinking how to support novice and seasoned ethnographers @Warwick. In the meantime, you can join other Similar international networks, like the Ethnography AtelierLink opens in a new window and the Ethnographic CafeLink opens in a new window.
