It all started in Switzerland, in the picturesque town of Neuchâtel. The aims of the first conference were to examine, explore and debate post-disciplinary approaches in research design, practice and reporting in a critical yet supportive environment.

The second event was hosted by the Center for Leisure and Culture Services Research at the Copenhagen Business School. Postdisciplinarity was articulated as 'an invitation to various interpretations, critical analysis, and creative problem solving'. The committee was particularly interested in contributions that dealt with postdisciplinarity in relation to the topics of freedom, art and power.
