At the end of August 2025, the Faculty of Humanities will host a conference on the impact of depopulation in Europe. It will focus on how the depopulation of peripheral rural areas and urban centres affects cultural and natural heritage in the broadest sense, as well as the relationship between humans and nature. We are accepting proposals for papers on various aspects of depopulation in both urban and rural areas, focusing on cultural heritage, cultural transmission, relationship to place, memory, demographic anxiety or the effects of demographic change on local communities.
