University of Wrocław and Foundation Pro Scientia Publica

are pleased to announce the 5th international conference EDUCATION, CULTURE AND SOCIETY. The conference will take place on the 11-13 September 2018 at the University of Wrocław, Poland.

The main topics are usually problems of contemporary education related to the cultural and social change. We especially invite transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary scholars as one of our aims is to avoid the sometimes unclear divisions between different branches and disciplines as well as to promote knowledge above all boundaries. 

We invite all papers, yet especially those dealing with the following:

• modern challenges of education, culture and society
• problems in education related to the social and cultural change
• issues in higher and adult education
• the idea of the university in the modern world
• academics and academic work in the contemporary times
• cultural and social experience
• gerontology and Third Age education
• foreign language acquisition and learning
• religious education in the world of mixed values
• ICT in education

This year we plan two additional sections: an online section and networking section.

The presentation should be made available to the organisers at least 30 days before the conference and they reserve the right to reject a presentation due to quality issues. The networking section is for participants who either look for partners in their research projects or with to participate in a project.

The “Journal of Education, Culture and Society” is published in printed form as well as on-line in open access. The papers for the 2nd issue of teh Journal need to be sent by 30 June, 2018. The Journal issue will be ready in print for the conference meeting.
