ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The conference “Childhood 360°” is based on the idea of a holistic understanding of childhood—from various scientific, professional, and societal perspectives. Within the theme “Childhood and Health: Challenges and Responses of Today,” the conference aims to create an interdisciplinary space for dialogue on contemporary factors shaping children’s health and well-being.
The conference seeks to bring together scientists, experts, and practitioners in order to understand the latest scientific insights, research findings, and practical experiences, as well as to encourage collaboration and networking. Special emphasis is placed on transferring scientific knowledge into educational, healthcare, and broader social contexts, to develop innovative and sustainable approaches that contribute to high-quality and healthy childhood development in modern society.
All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Papers that, according to reviewers’ evaluations, demonstrate outstanding scientific and professional quality will be invited for publication in a thematic issue of the international scientific journal Collegium Antropologicum, following an additional editorial and peer-review process. The journal is indexed in the Scopus database.
