CIVICA experts and invited speakers take on the key challenges facing Europe today in this alliance-level dissemination conference. The online event is free and open to everyone.
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.
Thanks to their multidisciplinary lens and wide-ranging insights, the social sciences are uniquely placed to provide such a rich understanding of present and future phenomena. As a European University of social sciences, we want to share some of the lessons learned in our mission to contribute knowledge that guides policymakers and serves the broader society.
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 brings together 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.
The conference is open to the entire CIVICA community and the public at large.
