The German Institute for Interdisciplinary Social Policy Research (DIFIS), an institution of the universities of Bremen and Duisburg, invites you to this year's FIS Forum and the subsequent Social Policy Biennale. The theme of the event is “Lost in Social Policy? Research for an Integrated Welfare State.” Renowned political guests discuss possible ways to design a social policy that ensures adequate service provisions, better cooperation, and accessibility, while combining the perspectives of practitioners, policy-makers, citizens, and administrators.
A wide range of speakers, including Jörg Bogumil (professor of political science, Ruhr University Bochum) and Anke Hassels (professor of public policy, Hertie School Berlin), as well as various panel discussions offer in-depth insights and opportunities for discourse. Another highlight of the forum is the plenary lecture by Hubertus Heil, Federal Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, which will take place on the first day. The Zukunftsforum (Future Forum), where political and academic experts will debate the challenges and opportunities of future social policy, will round off FIS Forum 2024.
The event is aimed at researchers who work on socio-political topics from different perspectives, as well as experts from politics, associations, clubs, and institutions who work on socio-political issues. DIFIS welcomes the participation of policy-makers at the municipal, state, and federal levels as well as journalists and interested parties who want to find out about current challenges in social policy and contribute to the debate.
Participation is free; please register at https://eveeno.com/FIS-Forum2024_ENG. More information and the full program can be found on the DIFIS website.
