Bucharest, 23-25 April 2015
In the past 50 years, Quality of Life increasingly became a key issue, the most important goal to be pursued by individuals. The process started in the more advanced democracies, replacing the mere search for material wealth, and putting at the top of the public agenda new challenges for social organisation and, in particular, for social policy. In the past 25 years, former communist societies around the globe also started, to different extents, to experience the shift. Their particular status was labelled as “double-risk societies”, to show that they simultaneously experience different social changes typical to contemporary age, but also social processes frozen by the communist regimes.
At its landmark 25th year, the Research Institute for Quality of Life is hosting a conference on the topic of quality of life as a challenge for social policy. The conference includes plenary meetings with keynote speeches, thematic sessions with presentations and round tables. Keynote speakers in plenary sessions are Fillomena Maggino, Christian Suter, Ruut Veenhoven and Claire Wallace.
