About the Sub-Forum on History, Society, and Civilizational Exchange from a Global Perspective

The ICSSCS 2026 Sub-Forum, themed "Perspectives on Historical, Social, and Civilizational Exchange in a Global Context," brings together world-renowned scholars and researchers to explore in depth the threads of civilizational interaction throughout history, the transformation of contemporary social structures, and cultural interactions and collisions in the process of globalization.

This Sub-Forum is dedicated to building an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural academic dialogue platform, encouraging the examination of the essence and patterns of civilizational exchange from multiple perspectives including history, sociology, anthropology, and political science, while exploring the significance of historical experiences for contemporary society.

Conference Objectives

• Academic Exchange
• Collaboration and Networking
• Knowledge Dissemination
• Professional Development

We believe that every encounter between civilizations is a convergence of human wisdom. Through keynote speeches, roundtable discussions, and paper presentations, the Sub-Forum will promote in-depth dialogue and exchange among scholars from different cultural backgrounds, jointly advancing the understanding of the patterns of human civilizational development.
