OECD Nuclear Energy Agency

Following the success of the fourth edition of the Nuclear Risk Communication Training Course (RCTC), the NEA will host the 2025 edition in Bucharest, Romania, in partnership with the National Commission for Nuclear Activities Control (CNCAN) and the Nuclear Agency for Radioactive Waste (ANDR) from 17 to 20 November 2025. An optional site tour will take place on 21 November 2025. This training course will focus on communicating risk in day-to-day contexts, aiming to improve the effectiveness of risk communication and enhancing public understanding related to nuclear and radiological risk. Over the course of four days, participants will engage with communication experts and technical professionals from nuclear energy organisations to learn the fundamentals of risk communication.

Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik GmbH

The rapid advancements in digital technologies, particularly generative AI, have triggered a profound shift in the relationship between technology, humans, society, and the values that shape our world. These developments challenge the traditional understanding of computer science, both as a discipline and as a driver of societal transformation.

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.

Twenty-First International Conference on the Arts in Society, Department of Theatre Studies, School of Philosophy, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece,, 10-12 June 2026. Founded in 2000, the Arts in Society Research Network offers an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of the role of the arts in society. It is a place for critical engagement, examination, and experimentation, developing ideas that connect the arts to their contexts in the world – on stage, in studios and theaters, in classrooms, in museums and galleries, on the streets and in communities. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.

Seventeenth International Conference on Sport & Society, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, Lillehammer Campus, Norway, 11-12 June 2026. Founded in 2010, the Sport & Society Research Network is brought together around a common interest in cultural, political, and economic relationships of sport to society. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions. You can become a participant by submitting a presentation to our annual conference, a research article to one of our journals, or a book proposal to our imprint.

Aging & Social Change: Sixteenth Interdisciplinary Conference, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey, 15-16 October 2026

Aging & Social Change: Sixteenth 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.

Aging & Social Change: Sixteenth Interdisciplinary Conference features research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

2026 Special Focus—Demographic Futures: Political and Social Transformations

Theme 1: Promoting Active Aging

Theme 2: Ensuring Quality Long-Term Care

Theme 3: Beyond Technology for Aging Societies

Theme 4: Aging and the Multi-Faceted Challenges Posted by Climate Change
