The main objective of this conference is to offer a platform for discussion and the exchange of ideas among students from different fields of social sciences and humanities worldwide. The conference encourages academic excellence, the exchange of ideas, and communication across both disciplinary and physical borders.
This year, the topic of the Social Sciences and Humanities Track is Society, Culture, and Politics across Time and Space. It focuses on changing patterns in social, cultural and political institutions; the analysis of individuals, groups, or societies; changes in mass culture, and technologies of communication and their social effects; and the impact of social and political change on both public and private life. These topics can be seen as contemporary or can be set in their historical perspective. Likewise, they can be approached in local, regional, or national contexts or in a comparative perspective. Proposals and invited on these and related topics.

- Communication Sciences: Journalism, Communication and Public Relations
- Conservation and Restoration
- History and Archaeology

The full papers will be published by the organizers in a conference e-book.
