More information here: https://ecswe2021.org/
Registration and payment will be opened in February 2021.
Conference will take place virtually: 15-18 June.
We invite SW educators, researchers, students, service users and practitioners to debate on experiences and research related to SWE and practice, aiming to build a culture of innovation and engage all social partners in building social cohesion during these challenging times. Moreover, the conference theme will provide the forum for the elaboration of SW theories, models and interventions and help social workers, educators and practitioners in developing innovative educational approaches that enhance skills and knowledge to increase the resilience of all involved parties during times of crisis and uncertainty.
The call for papers will be open to all academics, students, researchers, professionals and users interested in SW-related topics, and specifically SWE issues. The conference also welcomes proposals from PhD students, as well as ongoing research from experienced researchers and academics in the field of SW. Further, professionals and service users are invited to participate and present their experiences. The proposals may be research-based, classroom- or fieldwork-based or professional practice-based. Acceptance will not privilege any particular approach; the organising committee is pro-diversity orientated and will be happy to accept a mix of proposals that fit the conference themes. Parallel sessions, symposia and workshops will be subject to a peer-review selection process.
Abstracts are limited to two (2) submissions per single presenting author, which applies to individual papers, papers within an organised symposium and workshops. This rule does not apply to posters or the co-authorship of an abstract where someone else is the lead presenting author.
Authors do not have to be EASSW members to submit an abstract and participate in the conference. A reduced registration fee is applied to EASSW members.
