The Impact of Social Sciences and Humanities on Society
An international conference on stimulating and assessing the impact of the social sciences and humanities through interdisciplinary and inclusive approaches
The AESIS Network is proud to announce that its next edition of "The Impact of Social Sciences and Humanities on Society" will be hosted from Ottawa, Canada, and broadcasted to an online global audience.
For this edition of the conference, we are aiming to foster a discussion on how one can assess and stimulate the impact of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) through interdisciplinary approaches. In order to generate a profound impact of SSH on society, we believe collaborations with parties from business, government and not-for-profits, and engaging with the broader public are all vital aspects in this process.
In this event we aim to:
- Map and assess the impact of SSH
- Identify opportunities for collaborations with societal stakeholders
- Discuss how co-creations of knowledge with other scientific disciplines may play a role in stimulating impact
- Engage interactive discussions on skills that can enable optimization of impact for the public as a whole
- Conclude the event with targeted recommendations for enhancing societal impact within science eco-systems
The current cross-cutting challenges and interdisciplinary momentum make it a much needed and indeed inspirational context to foster a worldwide debate on how the SSH disciplines may and should have its impact on societal issues.
The AESIS Network and its partners are excited to virtually welcome you to the "Impact of Social Sciences and Humanities 2020" Conference.
