Welcome to The IAFOR International Conference on the Social Sciences – Dubai 2017, an interdisciplinary conference held in Dubai, UAE, February 26–28, 2017.
Keynote and Featured Speakers at The IAFOR International Conference on the Social Sciences – Dubai 2017 will provide perspectives from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds.
From natural phenomena and the results of climate change to pollution and societal traumas, migrations and war, the enormous challenges that face humankind and our environment are frequently daunting and difficult to comprehend. However, with every new challenge or disruption comes the opportunity for innovation and discovery. Whether inventing new technologies, implementing innovative systems, enacting better policies, legislation, or governance, or ensuring greater cooperation and information sharing, responses are many and varied.
From incremental shift to radical change, from the local to the regional and from the national to the global, this international conference will focus on the challenges that demand a collective response. It will highlight the need to harness our abilities as scientists, policymakers, practitioners, engineers and educators to find multidisciplinary solutions in pursuit of the common goal of a sustainable world.
