SEPR Journal and International Conference: Forging New Frontiers in Socio-Ecological Practice Research
AISDL Team
The journal Socio-Ecological Practice Research (SEPR – SCOPUS, 2022 CiteScore = 4.8) is a pioneering international journal leading the way in transdisciplinary socio-ecological practice research, emphasizing excellence. SEPR focuses on four interconnected areas: knowledge co-production, transfer, implementation, and impact, with a specific emphasis on knowledge implementation and impact research (knowledge I&I research).
From October 18th to October 20th, 2024, SEPR will collaborate with Shandong University (Weihai) and Tongji University (Shanghai) to host an international conference on socio-ecological practice research in Weihai, China.
This conference provides an ideal platform for researchers to actively participate in the exchange of ideas, foster collaborative ventures, and establish connections within a diverse global community. This inclusive community comprises scholars, practitioners, and experts in socio-ecological practice research. Such dynamic interactions have the potential to give rise to valuable partnerships, facilitate research collaborations, and encourage the sharing of best practices.

The core of the conference is built around a dual overarching theme. Firstly, it celebrates the profound influence of ecological wisdom on socio-ecological practices throughout history and across the globe. In parallel, it is dedicated to broadening the horizons of socio-ecological practice research by integrating insights from humanities, natural and social sciences, as well as engineering disciplines.
