Nearly 4,000 social researchers from Europe and around the world will meet in Warsaw during the 17th Conference of the European Sociological Association (ESA). The Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW), alongside the University of Warsaw, is one of the hosts of one of Europe\u2019s largest events dedicated to sociology and the social sciences. On 26 and 27 August, the SGGW campus will become the main venue for the conference\u2019s academic programme.<\/p>

The 17th Conference of the European Sociological Association<\/strong> will take place in Warsaw on 25\u201328 August 2026<\/strong>, under the theme \u201cStrengthening Democracies: Social Action, Solidarity, and Sustainable Futures.\u201d<\/strong> More than 3,800 submissions were received for the conference, and thousands of papers will be presented within 42 ESA Research Networks, joint sessions, and other academic formats.<\/p>

The conference programme reflects the key challenges facing contemporary societies. Discussions will cover, among other topics, democracy and political participation, inequalities, migration and borders, climate change, work and care, education, health, urban transformations, new technologies, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>


SGGW as a Venue for European Sociological Debate<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>

The conference will begin on 25 August with the official opening ceremony and the first plenary session at COS Torwar. Over the following two days, 26 and 27 August, the main academic programme will be held at the campus of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW), 166 Nowoursynowska Street.<\/strong> On the final day, 28 August, the sessions will move to the University of Warsaw.<\/p>

SGGW will host numerous sessions, research presentations, and discussions involving members of the international sociological community. The university\u2019s role, however, extends beyond providing facilities for the conference. SGGW researchers are contributing to the conference both organizationally and academically, taking part in the work of the Local Organising Committee and presenting the results of their own research in the ESA academic programme.<\/strong><\/p>


ESA at the SGGW Campus \u2013 Science, Tradition, and Academic Identity<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>

The ESA conference is being held in Warsaw for the first time and in Poland for the second time, following the conference held in Toru\u0144 in 2005. The organisers of the Warsaw event are the European Sociological Association, the University of Warsaw, and the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW).<\/strong><\/p>

The two days of the conference taking place at SGGW will also provide international participants with an opportunity to discover the university, its campus, academic community, and traditions.<\/p>

One of the highlights of the programme will be a concert by the PROMNI Folk Art Ensemble<\/strong>. The performance will introduce conference participants to Polish folk culture while also reflecting SGGW\u2019s historical links with the Polish countryside. PROMNI\u2019s presence in the programme will offer international guests an opportunity to experience one of the distinctive elements of the university\u2019s academic identity \u2013 one that combines contemporary science with cultural tradition and heritage.<\/p>
