Call for Applications

We invite scholars, doctoral researchers, and practitioners to join us on campus at Queen’s University Belfast for three days of collaborative exploration, intellectual exchange, and community building.

About the 2026 Colloquium Theme

The overarching theme for EGOS 2026 is “Reframing Organizations in the More‑than‑Human Society.” This year’s conversations will centre on inclusion, sustainability, and post‑humanist approaches to organising. At the QBS Local Hub, participants will engage with:

• More‑than‑human relations and their implications for organisational theory and practice
• AI tools and digital platforms that support paper development and scholarly dialogue
• Emerging perspectives on post‑Anthropocene organisational models

Our hub is designed as a collaborative, interactive space where participants can think expansively about the future of organising.

Programme Overview

A full day of in‑person workshops, networking sessions, and social activities at Queen’s Business School.
