XV Biennial Colloquium on Territorial Transformations October 21, 22, and 23, 2026

Care and Production of the Commons

Multiscalar Territorial Challenges in Times of Crisis

The Academic Committee on Regional Development (CADR), part of the Association of Universities of the Montevideo Group (AUGM), invites you to participate in the XV Biennial Colloquium on Territorial Transformations, to be held on October 21, 22, and 23, 2026, under the theme: “Care and Production of the Commons. Multiscalar Territorial Challenges in Times of Crisis.” The event will take place at the Central Campus of the University of Chile, located at Avenida Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins 1058, Santiago, Chile, in a hybrid format (in-person and online).

This event is organized every two years by the universities that make up the Academic Committee on Regional Development of AUGM. Its purpose is to promote the periodic gathering of professionals, researchers, and postgraduate students from various disciplines engaged in studying the transformations faced by territories in the region.

Both the presentations, as well as the scheduled roundtables and conferences, are expected to contribute to understanding the diverse strategies of care and production of the commons, with an emphasis on the territorial challenges these strategies entail in times of crisis, whether from academia, public administration, or civil society.
