GLOBAL SOCIOLOGY CONFERENCE IN WIEN - RC21 - with Whoosh elements

After the July 2024 conference in Santiago de Chile, 2026 sees the most important urban sociology event come to Austria. This is a prestige event, with 4000 delegates.

Research Committee 21 (RC21) on Sociology of Urban and Regional Development of the International Sociological Association was established in 1970 to promote theory and research in the sociology of urban and regional development, and – in so doing – create an international community of scholars who will advance the field.

At a time when cities, towns, and regions, and the world more broadly, are undergoing profound change, these international links are of critical importance for promoting and advancing scholarship.

Since Yuri Kazepov's arrival in Vienna, from Urbino University, he and Eugene have collaborated in many ways. Yuri is now head of sociology at University of Vienna, and has attracted over €5m in research cash from the EU. We plan a colourful series of events, to open up the real experience of being in our city, including music and dancing, social-dining, debates, presentations, screenings and of course walks.
