THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES
International Conference
Brussels, Hotel Metropole, 22 – 23 October 2009
CALL FOR PAPERS
Social Sciences and the Humanities have an important mission
in the knowledge society and for evidence-based politics. However, their role
is not always appreciated and their inputs are not always effectively used. There
are discrepancies between the potential importance of social science knowledge
and the comparatively low attention they receive from politics, other
scientific fields and the public as a whole.
How can the Social Sciences and the Humanities better address
the needs of society? This is the key question that will decide their future.
To better contribute to societal needs, the Social Sciences and Humanities will
have to advance their understanding of what society’s needs are; explicate
their contribution; and specify whether and to what extent this knowledge can
be provided.
This conference is the final conference of the SSH-FUTURES
project commissioned by DG Research in the 6th Framework Programme.
The project was accomplished by an international consortium lead by the
Interdisciplinary Centre for Comparative Research in the Social Sciences (ICCR
Vienna).
The conference will be a two-days event held in Brussels. At
the first day, the members of the SSH-FUTURES consortium will present the
results of their study and discuss the potential recommendations and
conclusions. The second day will be devoted to the external papers and the
results of similar projects.
Abstracts should be a minimum of 500 words long and include
the full coordinates of the author(s) (postal address, fax, telephone and
e-mail). The deadline for the submission of abstracts is September 30, 2009.
The authors of papers selected for presentation will
be contacted in the first week of October.
They will be expected submit a full versions of their presentation in
electronic format no later than January 2010.
Selected papers-givers will be reimbursed for their
travel and accommodation costs for participation at the workshop.
For further inquiries and/or the submission of
abstracts, please contact Louise Beltzung at
