The 3rd World Social Science Forum (WSSF) Conference will take place at the Durban ICC​ from the 13-16 September.  The event includes a focus on the City’s Area Based Management and Development Programme among other international case studies. 

WSSF2015 is a global event of the International Social Science Council (ISSC) and is hosted by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) South Africa, and the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA). Over 1200 delegates from all over the world are expected to attend this year’s event. 

As a Local Organising Committee member, MILE has been instrumental in securing a slot within the conference programme to share the City’s key focus areas within each of the five ABM learning areas. 

The theme for the WSSF2015, Transforming Global Relations for a Just World aligns well with the focus on partnerships undertaken by the respective ABM’s.
