Extreme Contexts Summit
The Extreme Contexts Summit is held annually in London
Summit 2026
In September 2026, the extreme contexts community reconvened at WBS Shard Campus to attend the 2nd Extreme Contexts Summit. The Summit focused the future of the community and extreme contexts research, while also providing participants support for their own work through scholarly exchange tables and panel discussion on theorising and publishing extreme contexts research.
Summit 2025
In September 2025, attendees from 37 institutions across 12 countries came to WBS Shard Campus in London to attend the inaugural Extreme Contexts Summit. The Summit showcased the latest research through keynotes presentations and panels, set new directions in the field, and supported the professional development of faculty and students.
Who should attend?
This Summit is aimed at scholars who have an interest in extreme contexts, including early career researchers (e.g., PhD student, postdoc, assistant professor) as well as mid- and late-career researchers (e.g., associate and full professor). Extreme contexts research has been an international and interdisciplinary endeavour, and we welcome scholars from different academic disciplines, including management and organisation, other social sciences, and applied fields.
