However, the conference is open to all other academic institutions as well.
The conference theme provides an opportunity to discuss the challenges of the modern world that require understanding in various aspects of politics, democracy, as well as education, migration, well-being, governance in the digital era, the welfare state, childhood vulnerability, gender, personality, productivity, residential segregation and the replication crisis. The conference encourages a discussion on the role of social sciences in the modern world and allows participants to gather a broader view reaching out from the borders of the narrow field of specialization.
