5th International Social Sciences Conference in Balkans English Page
About Conference
Balkans provide a rich ground for studies in every field of social sciences due to the fact that the geography is a region many societal incidents occurred which changed the course of history, of the intersection of East and West, and a land of different cultures and ethnicities are closely intertwined. There is no any chance of this region to develop economically and socially without that each community should collaborate with each other. Universities and academic communities are one of the foremost actors which can lead to such collaboration. International Social Science Conference in Balkans is a result of this insight.
The 5th International Social Science Conference in Balkans will be held in Novi Pazar (Serbia) between the dates of June 4-5, 2013. The conference is organized jointly by Sakarya University, Turkey and the University of Novi Pazar, Turkish World Research Foundation, Turkish Science and Research Foundation.
As known, the first and second conferences were held in Kosovo, the third one was in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the fourth one in Macedonia. It is seen that the conference has proven its age of consent with its international attribute. The conference has held regularly since 2009, and increasingly strengthened its international dimension with each passing year. Conference procedia has been published in every year.
However, there is a novelty in coming organization which distinguishes it from the earlier conferences. In previous years, the languages of the conferences were Turkish and the Balkans Languages. In order to extend it to the more international academic environment, extended English summary of papers will be published in the conference procedia. In this way, the procedia will have a chance to be indexed in international indexes.
Finally, since the conference will be held in Serbia, it will contribute to the aim of development and deployment of collaboration in Balkans.
Special thanks to the all institutions and people contribute to the conference.
