We are pleased to announce the third conference of the European Social Science Genetics Network (ESSGN) to take place in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, on 30 and 31 May 2024.
This conference aims to improve our understanding of how genetic endowments and environmental circumstances shape life choices and outcomes across the life-course of individuals.
Dorret Boomsma (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) will give the opening keynote lecture on “The Future of Social Science Genetics”. Tom Emery (ODISSEI & Erasmus University Rotterdam) will give the closing keynote lecture on “Challenges in Linking Genetic and Administrative Data”.
The conference programme will be soon announced here.
We encourage submissions in the form of papers or extended abstracts from the following fields:
- Methodological advances in social science genetics
- Gene-environment interplay
- Inter- and intragenerational social mobility
- Equality of opportunity
- Family formation and fertility
- Ethics, history, and philosophy of social science genetics.
We also welcome submissions from related strands of the literature. We strongly encourage Ph.D. students and early career researchers to participate.
Submit papers and abstracts here.
The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2024.
We will notify acceptances for presentations and posters by March 22, 2024.
There are no conference fees, but participants are expected to cover their own travel expenses and accommodation costs.
