The Social Capital Foundation invites papers and proposals to its TSCF 2008 International Social Capital Conference, to be held in Buggiba, Malta, on 19-22 September 2008, under the title Perspectives on Social Capital and Social Inclusion. The call will open on 2 January 2008. All papers and proposals should be submitted by 30 July 2008. Papers submitted and accepted before 31 January 2008 will be inserted into the programme of the conference. Proposals are reviewed within two weeks of submission.

The conference will discuss the issues associated with social capital, social inclusion and social cohesion, bringing together social scientists, economists, policymakers, social workers and the widest spectrum of the involved players to explore the social cohesion issues arising in society. The objective is to make progress on the understanding of these issues, by shedding light on some current developments and drafting innovative, practical responses.

To submit a paper, a roundtable or to volunteer to serve as a chair or discussant, please contact conferences@socialcapital-foundation.org.
