Aging & Social Change: Fifteenth Interdisciplinary Conference is a forum for discussion of challenges and opportunities for a rapidly growing segment of the population worldwide. The process of aging is a concern for individuals, families, communities, and nations. The social context of aging provides a rich background for community dialogue on this, one of the critical questions of our time. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.

Energy Policy and Development Centre (KEPA) of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

The 18th International Conference on “Energy and Climate Change” will take place at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) during 6-10 October 2025, in Athens-Greece. The venue for all the events is the Athens University History Museum (16 Tholou street, Plaka) of NKUA, located beneath the impressive rock of the Acropolis-Parthenon. The Conference is set under the auspices of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC). This year KEPA of NKUA in its capacity as the United Nations Academic Impact Hub Co-Chair for the 7th Sustainable Development Goal (UNAI SDG7 Hub Co-Chair) will host the second (2nd) Conference of all UNAI SDG Hubs in Athens with the aim to further promote the “2030 – Agenda for Sustainable Development”. This will be an opportunity for meetings, exchange views and common action in favor of vulnerable societies. The Conference on “Energy and Climate Change” started as an activity of an EU-FP6 funded project. The 1st PROMITHEAS Conference titled “Energy Investments and Trade Opportunities” in 2008 was a two-day event focused on political and scientific topics. Now, the Conference is upgraded to a multi-dimensional event

Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory (IFDT) of the University of Belgrade

The international conference “Elections – Democracy – Crisis” (EDC 2026) will mark the third edition of the biennial academic event jointly organized by the Faculty of Political Science and International Studies (WNPiSM) of the University of Warsaw and the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory (IFDT) of the University of Belgrade. This edition aims to explore the impact of contemporary crises (from wars to economic, energy, and social upheavals) on democratic and societal processes across Europe. Special attention will be given to the challenges for democracy in Central and Eastern Europe and the performance of hybrid or authoritarian regimes, particularly in light of the complex political context surrounding this year’s host institution and ongoing student-led protests in Serbia.

Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS)

This workshop explores problems in mathematical political science, focusing on recent developments in the study of alternative voting methods and the creation of district electoral maps. Over the last 20 years, many jurisdictions in Canada and the United States have adopted or have considered adopting alternative voting methods such as ranked-choice voting for electing mayors, representatives, city council members, etc. There are many questions about such methods which can be analyzed mathematically. For example, does ranked-choice voting tend to elect candidates who are more centrist than candidates elected by more commonly-used methods like plurality? How can we best achieve proportional representation on a legislative body? What makes an election fair? There are many open problems around such questions, and this workshop hopes to make some progress on them using mathematical tools.
