Horizons for Social Sciences and Humanities

Aiming to work towards better visibility, integration, and implementation of social sciences and humanities into science and research policies, the Conference offers a forum for scholarly exchange of ideas, examination of the common grounds and bridges of social sciences and humanities with technological, natural and other fields of science, and discussion on the opportunities offered by “Horizon 2020”, the EU’s new programme for research and innovation.

The Conference will bring together researchers, university leaders, policy makers, business people, representatives from non-governmental organisations, civil society groups, and media from all around Europe.

World Population Program Leader Wolfgang Lutz was invited to give a statement in parallel session 1 on health, demographic change and well-being. Apart from Wolfgang Lutz, other IIASA scientists, including Pavel Kabat and Markus Amman, will be among the participants.

The Lithuanian EU Presidency’s Conference entitled “Horizons for Social Sciences and Humanities” will be held at Mykolas Romeris University 23-24 September 2013.
