7th EDUCATION CULTURE SOCIETY CONFERENCE
2020
University of Wrocław and Foundation Pro Scientia Publica
are pleased to announce the 7th international conference EDUCATION, CULTURE AND SOCIETY. The conference will take place on the 11-13 September 2020 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
- foreign language acquisition and learning
- religious education in the world of mixed values
- ICT in education
The application form (please find it here: APPLICATION) should be sent by 31st May 2020. Participants will be provided with a computer and a multimedia projector. Presentations should be saved in the .pdf format (PDF Reader). The allotted time for each presentation is 15 minutes (+ questions and discussion). The language of all proceedings (lectures, papers, posters, discussions) is English.
This year we plan two additional sections: an online section and networking section. An online section is an answer to those of you who cannot come in person due to various reasons – there is an allotted time of 10 minutes for a video presentation. The presentation should be made available to the organisers at least 30 days before the conference and we 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 conference participants are also entitled to submit their papers for the international academic semi-annual “Journal of Education, Culture and Society”, a reviewed periodical (for more information, see: www.jecs.pl). The journal is indexed in Emerging Sources Citation Index (part of Web of Science) and Urlichsweb since 2019, Academic Search Compleate (EBSCO), Index Copernicus, ERIHplus, CEEOL, DOAJ, CEJSH, JournalSeek, and BazHum. 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 the Journal need to be sent by 31st May, 2020. The Journal issues will be ready in print for the conference meeting. Articles should be sent to the Editor in Chief (aleksander.kobylarek@gmail.com) and after the acceptance- registered for publishing by authors themselves in Open Journal System on the internet site of the journal (www.jecs.pl). The decision of the Editor in Chief regarding the acceptance of the text usually takes 2-3 days.
