Dear colleagues! We invite you to take part in the IV International Research Conference "Interaction. Integration. Inclusion: labyrinths of meanings and horizons of opportunities", which will be held from August 5-7, 2024 in an online format.

The organizer is the International Laboratory for Social Integration Research, HSE University (in partnership with The Journal of Social Policy Studies).

The International Research Conference "Interaction. Integration. Inclusion: labyrinths of meanings and horizons of opportunities" covers a variety of topics that seem relevant to social researchers and practitioners. The conference will discuss approaches and practices of research and development of socio-cultural integration implemented in different regions and countries. Particular attention will be paid to issues that create "new exclusions" and affect the integration of "traditionally" marginalised and vulnerable groups.

For the first time, a workshop will be organized at the conference for researchers just beginning to explore academic spaces – high school students and 1-2 year undergraduate students. We invite young researchers of socio-cultural integration, social inclusion, problems of underrepresented and vulnerable categories of the population and other topics presented in the conference program to participate in the workshop. Each participant of the workshop will receive feedback from more experienced colleagues and will be able to discuss research development directions. You can present completed research, project proposals highlighting potential research ideas at the workshop. When registering, please specify "participation in the workshop" and, if the report is included in the conference program, send an abstract (3 pages) or the full text of the report by e-mail: nsbaysha@hse.ru no later than August 1, so that a potential debater can familiarize himself with the work in advance and prepare a detailed review.

The conference will be held in an online format.
Languages: Russian, English.
