ACTIVITIES – SLOVENIAN SOCIAL SCIENCE CONFERENCE 2021
Like in the previous years, the School of Advanced Social Studies (Slovenia) organized its traditional Slovenian Social Science Conference (SSSC). This international conference has been hosted by SASS since 2009, and every year, the event attracts distinguished international and domestic experts, internationally renowned social scientists, and many young researchers. The number of foreign guests is increasing from year to year. High-quality papers after the conference are published as independent chapters in academic monographs or in thematic issues of international academic journals.
Conference sessions took place from November 11 to November 13, 2021. More about it: https://www.fuds.si/en/research/conference-sssc/
