Individual, Community and Society: Conflict, Resolution and Synergy

The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global
university partners is proud to announce the Inaugural European
Conference on Ethics, Religion and Philosophy, to be held from July
24-27, 2014, at the Thistle Hotel Brighton, in the United Kingdom.

Hear the latest research, publish before a global audience, present
in a supportive environment, network, engage in new relationships,
experience the UK, explore Brighton, London and the South-East of
England, join a global academic community.

This international and interdisciplinary conference will bring
together a range of academics and practitioners to discuss outside
the traditional confines of narrow fields of specialism, and in new
directions of research and discovery in ethics, religion and
philosophy. As with IAFOR's other events, and by bringing together a
number of university scholars working throughout the world to share
ideas, ECERP 2014 will afford the opportunity for renewing old
acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher
education and beyond.

2014 Conference Theme:
"Individual, Community and Society: Conflict, Resolution and Synergy"

Conflict is an integral part of the human condition. The universal
struggle between our personal selves – who we are as unique, separate
and different from others, with our specific blend of experiences,
abilities, attitudes, aspirations, needs and wants – and our social
selves, intricately connected to, and interdependent on, others – our
loved ones, our friends and favoured groups, our communities and
cultures – leads inevitably to internal as well as interpersonal
conflict.

Conflict among our communities and societies is also natural, given
that these groups are founded on commonality – of geography, values,
attitudes, beliefs, aspirations – and differentiated from others
based on these. Diversity, however, though it may lead to conflict,
plays an important role in the flourishing of communities and
societies. One of the challenges of modern society is harnessing the
synergy that emerges from the interaction of these differences.

IAFOR works with our university partners to nurture and encourage the
best in international, intercultural and interdisciplinary research.
We work with senior administrators and professors in our partner
institutions to develop programs which are timely, thought-provoking
and academically rigorous. The global partnership alliance means that
our interdisciplinary conferences are backed by some of the world's
foremost institutions of learning.
