The BLAIM 2025 International Conference offers a dynamic and interdisciplinary platform that convenes leading scholars, practitioners, researchers, and changemakers from around the world. The conference is designed to critically examine the intersections between mindfulness, behavioural science, legal innovation, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). In an era defined by complexity, disruption, and global challenges, BLAIM 2025 seeks to foster dialogue, insight, and collaboration that bridges the gap between individual awareness and systemic transformation.
At its core, BLAIM 2025 explores how inward transformation through mindfulness can influence outward systems—legal, behavioural, technological, and societal. Participants will investigate innovative frameworks and applied practices that promote social justice, human wellbeing, ethical governance, and inclusive development. The conference aims to generate actionable knowledge, inspire novel research, and advance practical solutions that reshape institutions and communities for a more resilient and compassionate future.
Aim of the conference
The aim of BLAIM 2025 is to foster a global, interdisciplinary dialogue that integrates mindfulness, behavioural science, legal innovation, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to address complex societal challenges. The conference seeks to bridge the gap between individual awareness and collective, systemic transformation by:
- • Encouraging research and practice that links personal development with institutional change.
- • Exploring human-centred and ethically grounded solutions for public policy, legal systems, and governance.
- • Advancing collaborative, evidence-based approaches to innovation that promote wellbeing, equity, and resilience in society.
BLAIM 2025 aspires to serve as a catalyst for scholarly exchange, practical innovation, and meaningful impact across diverse domains and disciplines.
Conference background
In an increasingly interconnected and uncertain world, society faces challenges that extend beyond the capacity of traditional disciplines or institutions alone. Issues such as mental health crises, inequitable access to justice, declining institutional trust, and the ethical dilemmas of AI demand integrated approaches that span personal, legal, technological, and behavioural dimensions. BLAIM 2025 - the International Conference on Mindfulness, Behavioural Science & Legal Innovation - emerged in response to this need for systemic integration. Building on global momentum around mindfulness and mental wellbeing, the rising influence of behavioural economics in policymaking, and the urgent need for innovation in legal and governance systems, the conference provides a unique platform to:
- • Examine how internal transformation (through mindfulness and contemplative practices) can influence external systems and decision-making processes.
- • Promote human-centric legal and technological innovations aligned with societal values and behavioural insights.
- • Encourage interdisciplinary collaborations that can rethink the foundations of leadership, education, justice, and public service.
BLAIM 2025 brings together a diverse community of researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and changemakers who believe that creating a more just, mindful, and sustainable future requires both individual consciousness and institutional courage.
