In collaboration between Bitlis Eren University and Muş Alparslan University, we are delighted to announce the 4th Social Sciences Congress, to be held jointly on 1–2 October 2026, and to invite you to this distinguished academic gathering.
Risk is a reality that modern societies both create and are shaped within. It is no longer merely a statistical calculation of probability; it has become a multi-layered phenomenon at the intersection of social structures, political choices, cultural patterns and ethical responsibilities. Understanding risk within this layered structure — from the individual to society, from the local to the global — is a shared agenda for all of the social sciences.
Our age is witnessing a period in which borderless and mutually reinforcing crises are becoming increasingly frequent. Climate change, post-pandemic economic fragilities, digital security vulnerabilities, demographic transformations and geopolitical tensions form a systemic risk environment too intricate to be addressed in isolation.
Drawing on this conceptual sequence, the main theme of the 4th Social Sciences Congress has been set as “Fragility, Crisis and Resilience in an Age of Risk.” Our congress aims to bring the social science disciplines together on a shared platform across a broad intellectual spectrum — from the conceptual and philosophical foundations of risk to concrete crisis experiences, from crisis governance models to societal resilience strategies.
From psychology to history, sociology to economics, law to communication studies, political science to educational sciences — each discipline reading risk and crisis with its own conceptual tools forms the core intellectual claim of this congress. In addition, contributions from technical and spatial disciplines such as Disaster Management, Urban Planning, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence and Environmental Engineering will add further depth to our congress.
Your original and high-quality work as esteemed academics will make an indispensable contribution to this ground for intellectual debate.
Respectfully,
Organising Committee
