Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Dear Conference Participants,
We regret to inform you that due to the challenges associated with the COVID-19 outbreak and the sanitary situation in most countries in the world we have decided to further postpone the SPES Annual Conference 2020 which was due to take place at the University of Urbino Carlo Bo (Italy), on 14 - 16 September 2019. Therefore we announce that the SPES Annual Conference will be held in the same location, Urbino, on May, 20-22nd, 2021.
We took this decision after much consideration. However we believe that this dramatic and critical situation is a reason for being even more active in nurturing additional research and reflections useful to provide the scientific, economic and civil society with further contributions leveraging on our knowledge.
Undoubtedly the present crisis will have long term effects on societies and institutions throughout the world. A number of beliefs, values and behaviors will have to be re-considered and altered both at a collective level and at the individual level.
As academics, we are convinced that we have a role to play in the re-shaping of our communities, whatever their roles in our societies.
Therefore, we took the chance to extend the call, opening to additional contributions that could also take into consideration a think-tank dedicated to the present crisis, its origin, as well as its manifestations, consequences and new answers to it.
As regards the organization aspects, we will update the conference website with the new agenda, including dead line for sending new abstracts, contributions and the registration.
We would like to point out that already accepted submissions are fine: authors should not re-send their abstracts. Moreover, we would like to inform you that both the registrations and fees payment already made are confirmed and will be kept them valid for the 2021 conference.
For any further clarification and additional information you can contact by email:
spesurbino@gmail.com or mara.delbaldo@uniurb.it
We look forward to your participation and to see you at the Annual SPES Conference in May 2021.
The Scientific Committee
