The 7th European Conference on the Social Sciences (ECSS2019)
Join us in London (and online) for ECSS2027!
July 15-19, 2027 | SOAS and University College London (UCL), United Kingdom & Online
Welcome to The 15th European Conference on Education (ECSS2027), held in partnership with Birkbeck, University of London, the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at The University of Osaka, and in affiliation with University College London (UCL).
ECSS encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in an international forum stimulating respectful dialogue. This event will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.
Since its founding in 2009, IAFOR has brought people and ideas together in a variety of events and platforms to promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study, and underline its importance. IAFOR continues to engage in many cross-sectoral projects across the world, including those engaging leading universities (Virginia Tech, University College London (UCL), Singapore Management University (SMU), University of Belgrade, Lingnan University, University of Barcelona, and the University of Hawai’i), think tanks, research organisations and agencies (the East-West Center, The Center for Higher Education Research, The World Intellectual Property Organization), and collaborative projects with governments, international governmental organisations (Government of Japan through the Prime Minister’s Office, the United Nations in New York), and media agencies (The Wall Street Journal, JWT, HarperCollins).
With the IAFOR Research Centre at The University of Osaka, we have engaged in a number of interdisciplinary initiatives we believe will have an important impact on domestic and international public policy conversations and outcomes.
IAFOR's unique global platform facilitates discussion around specific subject areas, with the goal of generating new knowledge and understanding, forging and expanding new international, intercultural and interdisciplinary research networks and partnerships. We have no doubt that ECSS2027 will offer a remarkable opportunity for the sharing of research and best practice and for the meeting of people and ideas.
The 14th European Conference on Education (ECSS2027) is an interdisciplinary conference held alongside The 15th European Conference on Arts & Humanities (ECAH2027) and The 7th European Conference on Aging & Gerontology (EGen2027). Registration for any of these conferences will allow delegates to attend sessions in the others. In keeping with our mission, we open the plenary sessions to all delegates across the conferences. We do this as every individual delegate has their own different overlapping interests.
We look forward to seeing you in London and online!

IAFOR's Conference Themes for 2025-2029
Our selected themes for 2025-2029 bring together ideas and encourage research and synergies in the following areas:
Technology and Artificial Intelligence
Humanity and Human Intelligence
Global Citizenship and Education for Peace
Leadership
Our four themes can be seen as standalone themes, but they are also very much in conversation with each other. Themes may be seen as corollaries, complementary, or in opposition/juxtaposition with each other. The themes can be considered as widely as possible and are designed, in keeping with our mission, to encourage ideas across the disciplines.
Call for Papers
The ECSS Conference Programme Committee welcomes papers from a wide variety of interdisciplinary and theoretical perspectives.
