The Wales Institute of Social & Economic Research, Data & Methods (WISERD) annual conferences attract colleagues from across the academic, policy, public, private, and third sectors in Wales; and have become established as the largest social science conference in Wales.
The WISERD Annual Conference 2025 will take place over two days (Monday 30 June and Tuesday 1 July 2025) at Aberystwyth University.
We work closely with our colleagues at WISERD in the planning of the conferences, which include opportunities for doctoral students to present papers, enter competitions and profile other aspects of their work in a vibrant and supportive setting.
We strongly encourage all WGSSS students to attend this important annual event.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Participation and partnership in a time of precarity and polarisation’.
The theme for the WISERD Annual Conference 2025 talks to widespread concerns regarding the form and function of civil society in a period marked by social, political and economic discontent and upheaval at local, regional, national and global scales.
The call for papers is now OPEN for the WISERD Annual Conference 2025.
Visit the WISERD website for full details.
The deadline to submit your abstracts for the WISERD Annual Conference 2025 will be 9am on Friday 28 March.
