Network Activities

During 2025, an international conference co-organised by the Link convenors of Network 21 provided an opportunity for other members of our network to participate: the conference on 'Institutional Pedagogy and Psychotherapy' held at the University of Paris Cergy, Gennevilliers campus (France) on 7 and 8 November 2025. In 2025, an Erasmus exchange took place between Paris Cité University and Humboldt University. A professor from Humboldt University visited Paris Cité University and gave a lecture in a Master's course.

A meeting was also held in Berlin on the occasion of the Link Convenor's meeting A researcher, member of Nw 21, has been invited at Humboldt University to give lectures during a three-day session.

A publication project has been underway in Network 21 for two years. This year, a contract has been signed with Bloomsbury Academic Eds in order to publish a ‘Handbook Education and psychoanalysis’ and many participants to Nw 21 will be authors for that collective work which will include 35 chapters written by 50 researchers.

Some other publication projects are still in progress, such as a special issue in English of French Cliopsy Journal.

A Nw 21 Link convenor has been contacted by a colleague from Bordeaux University (France) who works on inclusive education and has written a chapter for a book project to be published by Palgrave Macmillan (Title: Inclusive Doctoral supervision: Navigating Global Challenges).

• The ‘Cliopsy Conference’ will take place in France in June 2026 will give an opportunity for further discussions. Researchers from Network 21 will be invited to contribute to this conference (a symposium is being prepared with keynote speakers)
• A workshop is scheduled to take place in Paris in June 2026, involving members of Network 21 from universities members of the European Circle-U alliance (Paris Cité University, Vienna University, Humboldt University, King College London). This project is linked to Network 21, in which several of whose members are from universities members of this alliance. The aim of this workshop is to prepare for the organization of a seasonal school and joint Master's courses.
• A joint project with Network 19 is still under discussion, and we expect to complete it in 2026.
