The Congress was initiated to integrate researchers and experts in social sciences and humanities as well as to promote deeper understanding of Belarus in academic and social centers of the region and all over the world.

The Congress will be a place of presentation of scholarly and research work during the year. Moreover, the Congress will discuss important research and civil projects, facilitate exchange of opinions and ideas, and establishment of informal contacts.

The Congress will help to think over and systemise the outcomes of research and expert activities and encourage the practice of mutual cooperation and communication.

Disciplinary priority of the congress: political science, sociology, history, intellectual history and history of ideas.

The Congress combines traditional academic activities with expert panels and public discussions on important issues of Belarusian politics, culture, society, regional and international cooperation.
