About the Con ference

 \;(&ldquo\;IASC&rdquo\;) is the leading professional association dedicated to research and practice aroun d &ldquo\;the Commons&rdquo\;. The association\, founded in 1989\, is devo ted to bringing together multi-disciplinary researchers\, practitioners\, and policymakers for the purpose of improving governance and management\, advancing understanding\, and creating sustainable solutions for commons\, common-pool resources\, or any other form of shared resource. These resou rces may be part of the natural world (e.g. forests\, water\, fish stock\, climate systems) or they may be created (e.g. infrastructures such as irr igation systems\, digitally stored knowledge\, or technologies such as ope n source software\, hardware or blockchain systems). \;

While ou r IASC community and IASC biennial conferences have brought active attenti on to the study and practice of &ldquo\;the Commons&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Co mmoning&rdquo\; since IASC&rsquo\;s formation in 1989\, it could be argued that bringing awareness to these topics and ideas in all regions of the w orld has never been more pressing. Moreover\, the ideas of Commons and Com moning are more apparent in some IASC regions than others. Arguably\, peop le and policy-makers in the United States are less aware of these concepts compared to our colleagues in regions like Europe\, Africa or Oceania\, f or example. In addition\, enclosure of commons continues across all IASC r egions\, often unabated. That is why our overarching theme of the IASC 202 5 conference is entitled: &ldquo\;Regenerating the Commons: Addressing Pressing Concerns Through Learning about the Past and Innovating into the Future.&rdquo\;
