This talk will present the EU-RISE project 'From Contested Territories to Alternatives to Development - learning from Latin America'. The aim of this project is to form an international and intersectoral network of organisations from across Europe and Latin America on a joint research programme that pursues conceptual and empirical knowledge generation on innovative and sustainable bottom-up models of territorial development. After an introduction by the coordinator at Newcastle, Dr Gabriel Silvestre, visiting researchers in the 2022/23 period will present their agendas and discuss opportunities for engagement with colleagues at CLACS.
