ICE-8: Practising bio-cultural and multilingual diversity in ecolinguistics
Date: 9-11 July 2026
Venue: Rennes, France

The 8th International Conference on Ecolinguistics will take place from 
9th to 11th July 2026 in Rennes, France. We want to discuss and practice 
approaches to the ecolinguistic commitment for sustainable futures and 
ecojustice with a special focus on multilingual and multisensory 
encounters. ICE-8 aims to provide a dynamic and stimulating space for 
sharing ecolinguistic research and practices.

By bringing various theoretical and methodological approaches into 
conversation, ICE-8 aims to explore how different conceptualisations of 
the language-ecology relationship can inform both scholarly 
understanding and practical responses to contemporary environmental 
challenges.

The conference will bring together ecolinguistic approaches fostering 
diversity, including language diversity and bio-cultural diversity. The 
conference aims to be multilingual, multimodal, and multisensory. 
Therefore, the organising committee is dedicated to two guiding 
principles. First, we plan a creative and active conference. This means 
adding discussion time, workshops, artistic performances, and excursions 
alongside more classic presentation formats. Second, our aim is to make 
ICE-8 a truly multilingual conference, so we will experiment with 
translation and interpretation. We are particularly looking forward to 
receiving contributions in marginalised languages in academia, including 
regional languages and minority languages. Further, we encourage 
contributions that are well-grounded in ecological issues and questions.
