Join this CIVICA conference on how the social sciences can help us face an uncertain future.
As a key player in an unstable global landscape, Europe is currently facing daunting challenges. Responding to these challenges requires not only a broad and diverse set of actors working across disciplines and sectors, but also careful analysis of our societies and timely advice on policies and solutions.
- What are critical European and global challenges today?
- What is the role of social science universities in shaping a response?
- How can we work together across different levels of society to improve Europe’s resilience to 21st century threats?
This online dissemination conference gathers social science researchers, practitioners and policymakers from CIVICA and beyond to reflect on two key challenges for Europe and the world today: authoritarianism and international security. Speakers will draw on their experiences at the forefront of societal challenges to discuss how our societies can take action in the present to be better prepared for the future.
