IX INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE: FACES OF WAR

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

For the ninth time, we invite you to participate in the FACES OF WAR (OBLICZA WOJNY) conference, during which we will discuss the topic: War – progress or stagnation?

Wars have always accompanied mankind and are part of the development of civilization with all the accompanying consequences. Regardless of what type of conflicts we are dealing with, regardless of the era and socio-political conditions, they always have consequences, usually negative ones – destruction in all spheres of human life and inhibition of development. However, wars are also a factor that motivates the development of research, technology, investment in infrastructure and many other activities. Technologies developed for the military are also often used in non-military areas. Wars have influenced the fate of individual people, ruining the lives of some, while creating opportunities for development and careers for others. Our intention is to indicate during the meeting the impact of conflicts on various areas and to provoke a discussion on the topic: War – progress or stagnation?

Proposed research areas

army
science and technology
economy
medicine
biography studies
society
culture
politics and ideology
natural environment

Certainly, the areas of discussion we have indicated do not exhaust all possibilities, hence we are open to your suggestions. Traditionally, at our conference we do not set any chronological restrictions, you can submit presentations covering times from antiquity to the present. Our intention is for the conference to be interdisciplinary in nature and to become a place for exchanging experiences and presenting the results of research. Therefore, representatives of various scientific disciplines are welcome, both titled researchers and those taking their first steps in science – PhD students.

We intend to publish a post-conference compilation featuring articles that have received positive reviews.
