Between 18 and 20 February 2026, a working meeting of CA22156 – Transformations International Experience and Research Network for Sustainable Futures (TransformERS) was held in Lisbon. The meeting was dedicated to the preparation of an edited volume summarising the results of an international study on transformative practices.

The event brought together chapter authors, members of the Core Group (CG), and the Management Committee. The programme included parallel sessions on the chapters of the forthcoming book, a plenary discussion on the main thematic strands and next steps, as well as a meeting of the Management Committee.

Prof. Vesela Kazashka actively participated in the working meeting in Lisbon in her capacity as a member of the CA22156 Management Committee. In this role, she contributed to discussions on the conceptual framework of the volume, possible formats for presenting the results (including publishable datasets, visualisations, and short thematic formats), and the strategic directions for the further development of the initiative.

The Lisbon meeting reaffirmed the international network’s commitment to researching transformative processes in resource-constrained contexts and to developing practically applicable knowledge based on empirical data and interdisciplinary dialogue.
