The 2nd International Online Conference on Social Sciences

Welcome from the Chair

We are pleased to welcome you to the 2nd International Online Conference on Social Sciences (IOCSS 2027), proudly organized by the MDPI open access journal Social Sciences (ISSN 2076-0760; IF: 2.0). The conference is scheduled to take place virtually from 24 to 26 May 2027.

Following the success of the first edition, this second conference will continue to provide an engaging platform for scholars, researchers, and experts from across the social sciences community to exchange innovative and impactful research. The conference is organized around a broad range of contemporary themes in social sciences, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Crime, rehabilitation and justice;
• Childhood and Youth Studies;
• Gender Studies;
• International Migration;
• Society and Technology.

These themes encourage interdisciplinary engagement and invite diverse methodological and theoretical perspectives. We particularly welcome research that addresses emerging global challenges, comparative perspectives across regions, and studies highlighting underrepresented voices and communities.

Our goal is to provide an engaging platform that bridges research and practice, fosters collaboration across disciplines, and inspires innovative approaches to addressing pressing social challenges. By bringing together scholars and practitioners from around the world, we hope to facilitate meaningful exchanges that advance knowledge and contribute to informed policy and social progress.

We warmly invite you to join us in shaping this exciting event. Together, let us engage in thought-provoking discussions, share impactful research, and explore solutions to some of the urgent issues facing societies today.

Your support and contributions are essential to the success of this event, and we look forward to welcoming you to IOCSS 2027.

Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Tina Freiburger
