About ISCI2019
ISCI 2019 conference is hosted by the University of Tartu and it will be an opportunity to reflect on progress and to envisage the future of child indicators research in an increasingly complex world. We invite researchers, practitioners, policy makers and child advocates from across the world to share and discuss original research and their implications for policy and interventions. Presentations will encompass a broad range of topics related to child indicators research that bridges research, policy and practice in time and space. We welcome new approaches to understanding children’s wellbeing and enhancing the connections between theory, policy and practice.
