THE TENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTERDISCIPLINARY SOCIAL SCIENCES Split, Croatia University of Split 11-14 June 2015 Dear Delegate, The International Advisory Board is pleased to announce the Call For Papers for the Tenth International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences. The Social Sciences Conference will be held 11-14 June 2015 at the University of Split in Split, Croatia. SPECIAL CONFERENCE FOCUS: "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Contemporary Social Change" Modern societies face a number of overarching changes. The consequences of these changes are equally evident at the local as well as global level, influencing the everyday lives of individuals and large societal aggregates. The role of the social sciences is of pivotal significance in the interpretation of these intense social changes. More than other disciplines, the social sciences are in an integral position to recognize changes and problems, determine causal links, interpret the available information, and offer solutions. Accordingly, the aim of the 2015 Social Sciences Conference is to contribute to the identification and understanding of different recent social issues, with a focus on social changes that we face in the various segments of the social world. The conference offers a wide range of topics that may be discussed in local and global terms, either through the prism of the social sciences or through interdisciplinary collaborations.
