Uppsala University invites paper proposals for a U4 Cluster Conference 
Social Sciences, Economics and Law (SSEL), hosted by Uppsala University, 
29-30 May 2017.

U4 is a strategic partnership between Ghent University (BE), University 
of Göttingen (DE), University of Groningen (NL), and Uppsala University 
(SE). It is based on well-established, existing, bilateral agreements 
between the partner universities. The U4 cooperation is especially 
intended to take stock of academic research activities within the 
participating universities. The aim is to disseminate research, 
stimulate research cooperation, and provide a venue for innovative and 
multi-disciplinary research approaches and critical reflection.

The SSEL Conference 2017 aims to bring together researchers and PhD 
students from the participating universities on topics specifically 
addressing today’s global challenges for societies. The conference theme 
of the contemporary dynamics of migration operates at many levels in 
society. It involves challenges emanating from different kinds of 
population movements, influencing issues of borders, governance, 
legislation, labour, health and mediation of refugeedom among others.

Media and Communication Studies scholars are warmly welcomed.

U4 runs between 9 am on May 29 and 17 (at the latest) May 30.
