Abstract
This article provides a concise retrospective of AESOP’s event evolution from 2020 to 2024, a period marked by global uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical crises. It traces the association’s transition from cancelled and online-only activities to a full return to in-person events, culminating in a large-scale congress in Paris in 2024. The piece highlights how AESOP adapted through hybrid formats, empowered Thematic Groups, and introduced a new Conference Management System. Through these transformations, AESOP not only maintained continuity in scholarly exchange but also strengthened its internal community and global outreach. The analysis underscores the resilience of academic networks and the potential of flexible event formats in sustaining professional engagement during disruptive times.
