| Description: | The Congress of the Austrian Sociological Association 2003 is organised as a 3-
day event - two days will be held as an international conference, the third day is
dedicated to Austrian topics (Conference language on the last day will be German).
The focus will be on two questions of both scientific and practical relevance:
· What can sociology and related social sciences contribute to the
processes of social change in Europe? And how?
· What are the effects of socio-economic and political change in Europe on
social sciences?
The programme will address core themes of the 6th Framework Programme
centring around four topics relevant also for the development of social science:
· Labour market and employment
· Migration and mobility
· Social issues in the EU conventions recommendations
· Research and technology policies of the EU
During the Conference a paper will be presented and open to discussion which will
also be available online prior to the conference under the title Declaration on the
position of Social Sciences and Humanities in the ERA.
The Congress will offer consortia of ongoing projects in FP5 and future projects in
FP6 the opportunity to meet and network. The Congress website and on-site
facilities will support these activities.
On 26th of November, while the Austrian conference is being held, international
participants will have the opportunity to take part in sociological excursions
(guided tours to sites of historic or currently pertinent social research in the region
of Vienna, e.g. Otto Neurath Museum, Wittgensteinhaus, public housing and city
planning, research institutes, social partnership organisations ).
Another innovative component is the Prize of the Austrian Sociological
Association for best dissertations (finalized in the last academic year) which will
promote sociological research and improve the quality of dissertations.
