Join Wales’ largest social science conference!
Bookings are now open for the WISERD 2014 Annual Conference. The event follows on from four successful conferences, held in the Universities of Cardiff, Swansea, Bangor and South Wales. Bringing practitioners, policy makers and social scientists together, WISERD conferences have become established as one of the most important events in the social science calendar.
