The Centre for Research on Civil Society and Voluntary Sector, a collaboration between NORCE Norwegian Research Centre in Bergen and the Institute for Social Research in Oslo will be this year’s hosts. The conference will take place in NORCE’s offices in Bergen.
It is our aim that the conference will facilitate quality academic discussions on contemporary civil society in European societies.
We are looking for papers that cover a broad range of topics, including but not limited to studies on engagement and volunteering, organization and mobilization, cross-sector collaboration and co-production, social movements and NGOs, power and resource inequalities between civil society actors, as well as advocacy and philanthropic actors and activities. Papers may be theoretical or empirical in nature.
See the Call for papers here (.pdf).
