This international and interdisciplinary conference aims to outline the dynamics of the many alternative cartographic experiences as they manifest themselves today and to understand what they reveal about contemporary issues.
By bringing together diverse epistemologies and approaches, it will shed light on the diversity of current cartographic practices.

It will be conducted in four languages: French, German, Spanish, and English. The entire conference will be broadcast via videoconference. The Thursday and Friday sessions will be held in a hybrid format to facilitate international presentations.
