Conférence CREAN - The impact of children’s rights education and research on policy development

18.01.2018 – 19.01.2018

The Children’s Rights European Academic Network is very glad to invite you to its bi-annual conference on “The impact of children’s rights education and research on policy development” that will take place on the 18-19 January 2018 at the University of Geneva (Uni Bastions).

The Conference aims to carry on the dialogue on the role and impact of children’s rights education and research on policy development between academia and policy-makers.
The conference theme allows bringing together perspectives from academia and professional partners both on children’s rights policy development as well as on academic education and research.

In this matter, the conference will have a focus on three main topics:

-Policy making needs to be able to rely on robust scientific data and knowledge in order to develop effective and efficient evidence-based policies to implement the children’s rights normative framework;

-Academia is increasingly asked to ensure that its education and research programmes resonate with the social and political necessities of their time and that their research findings have sustainable impact;

-Knowledge brokering emerges as processes that aim to facilitate the transfer and transformation of scientific knowledge into operational policies, as well as to make academia aware of current social problems.

In this regard, we cordially also invite you to submit a paper that addresses the conference’s main discussion themes.
An abstract of your paper has to be submitted to CREAN’s scientific committee through CREAN’s website.

All the details related to the registration and paper submission are available on CREAN's website (http://crean-network.org/index.php/activities/crean-conferences/upcoming-conferences/CREAN-conference-2018).
