The Europe & UK Network aims to connect community organizations and representatives, institutions and organizations, and others located in or with ties to Europe and the UK to see how we can together support momentum and interest for Local Contexts in the region. Our regional networks are for participants with established connections within these areas, including Indigenous Peoples with both ancestral and contemporary ties to these regions. The Europe & UK Network is Chaired by Monica Galassi, University of Technology Sydney, and William Wood, King’s College London.
