The Sustainability and Resilience Conference is an annual conference organized by the Deanship of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research at the University of Bahrain (UOB), and under the patronage of His Excellency, Prof. Ryadh Hamzah, President of the UOB. The concept of “Sustainability and Resilience” in itself is not new worldwide, yet still new to the Middle East region in general, and to the Gulf states in particular. In 2018, the first edition of the conference is conducted in collaboration with the Northumbria University in the United Kingdom and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and is dedicated to the main theme of “Mitigating Disaster and Emergency Planning” in three vital sectors: (1) Energy and Engineering, (2) Health and Science, and (3) Cyber Security and Networks. The conference is a great opportunity for positioning Bahrain as a “Regional Hub” for sustainability and resilience and provides participants (both academics and practitioners) with gigantic opportunities for knowledge sharing and experience exchange that would eventually accumulate in setting new policies and strategies.

The International Conference on Contemporary Social and Political Issues (ICSPI) was hosted by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Indonesia, with the theme of “Knowledge and Social Transformations.” This theme urged scholars and professional researchers to reconsider new agendas in knowledge production, where different regionalization tides affect previously rigidly separated disciplines in a more collaborative, if not contradictory, ways. The political consequences of research institutions that are much more responsive to the demands for economic growth must be further scrutinized. This raises fundamental questions regarding the analysis of new forms of social inequality, social exclusion, as well as who is being prevented from political representation and participation. The theme is expected to initiate cross- and multidisciplinary academic discussions regarding novel forms of concentration and democratization of knowledge in the increasingly globalized and digitalized world we live in today.

Conference topics: About 80 papers on varied topics were presented in the conference of which only selected papers are published in this proceeding. The topics include, but are not limited to, Research, Technology, and Social Transformation; Governance, Welfare, and Social Development; Ideas, Norms, and Culture in Social Transformation; Knowledge and Gender Issues; Global Challenges and Social Transformation; Capital, Civil Society, and Social Transformation;  Media, Knowledge and Social Transformation.
