Programme

The conference promises to be extremely interesting and of high academic quality. We received more than 200 very bright applications, and the competition was really tough as we could accept only less than 50 percent of the applications, namely 96 papers.

These 96 papers will be presented in a total of 24 sessions, each containing of four presentations. Additionally, internationally renowned scientific experts will provide five focused keynote lectures on up-to-date research issues in the various sociological fields this conference addresses.
