Project Description

The Social and Political Science Conference is an annual event organized by the Department of Politics and Social Change, Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to discuss contemporary social and political issues and contribute to high-quality policy-making.

KISIP 2024, with the theme "Safeguarding Democracy: Multifaceted Responses to Election Disinformation," will serve as a platform for government, academics, think tanks, civil society organizations, and the public to discuss research findings related to information disruptions, both from academic and policy perspectives. The conference aims to share interdisciplinary knowledge about information disruptions and their impact on elections, identify best practices to address information disruptions, and develop collaborative initiatives with academic institutions.
