This international and interdisciplinary conference will again bring together a range of academics and practitioners to discuss new directions of research and discovery in the Social Sciences. As with IAFOR’s other events, ECSS2017 will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond.

The European Conference on the Social Sciences will again be held alongside The European Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment. Registration for either of these conferences will allow participants to attend sessions in the other.
