2-3 SEPTEMBER 2024
II Sapienza PhD Conference in
Social Sciences and Economics
Sapienza University of Rome - Rome, Italy
"Socioeconomic and climate challenges:
framing inequalities and resilience"
We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the II PhD Conference in Social Sciences and Economics that will take place at Sapienza University of Rome on September 2-3, 2024.
The aim is to create a friendly environment for PhD students to present their research, get and provide feedback, and connect with colleagues from different universities in a multidisciplinary context. The conference will be enriched by two social events taking place in both days offering the opportunity to network and familiarize with all the other participants.
This year's conference welcomes contributions on the themes of sustainability, innovation, and development. In particular, it is possible to submit to one of the following tracks:
1) Sustainable Finance: ESG, Climate, and Transition risks;
2) Fostering Development in light of Economic Inequalities;
3) Social Inequalities: diversity and inclusion for a resilient society;
4) Computational Social Sciences;
5) Territorial Disparities: Inner and Outer, Rural and Urban Areas;
6) Intersectional and Intergenerational Inequalities
This year we offer the chance to 1st year PhD (who doesn't feel confident in sending an entire paper) and master’s student to present, on the same tracks above, a poster. It is for us the opportunity to create a space for everyone, in earlier or later stage of research, to discuss and talks with their own peers about their own works.
We will also be glad to host remarkable keynote speeches. On the first day, there will be the intervention on the conference's main theme from a representatives of the academic reality, but strictly connected with the wider public policy field, while during the second day, an outstanding scholar will provide participants with an overview about the future of their career.
