Looking ahead to Cape Town 2020 already

The World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology (Waset) will host the 22^nd International Conference on Historical Sciences (ICHS) in Cape Town, on 2-3 November 2020 and this event should not be missed as this large, joined conference only takes place every 5 years. Also, do not be discouraged by the Term ‘Historical’ in the conference name as this is really an interdisciplinary conference in the true sense of the word.

The list of potential topics includes more than 60 themes. Topics include, but are not limited to Psychology, Communication Science, Geography, Health, Human rights, Country studies, Technology, Law and justice, Open learning and Distance education, Public administration, Sociology, Sport education, sustainable development, Violence, extremism and terrorism and Computing. Abstracts should not be longer that 500 words and there are strict rules that apply so ensure that you check before submission.

A doctoral consortium provides doctoral students with a great opportunity to explore and develop their research within an interdisciplinary setting. And there is an added bonus for those who want to volunteer as a chair, workshop organizer or even a keynote speaker: They will not have to pay the registration fee of 450 €. Accommodation and travel costs however, are not included in this offer.

The conference venue is the Cape Town Lodge hotel and conference centre. 

As you all know, Cape Town is a wonderful city and even South Africans enjoy the many tourist attractions and cultural diversity of this lovely city and its surroundings when visiting. There are not only world heritage sites such as Robbin island, but also one of the natural wonders to the world, Table mountain to explore while the surrounding wineries and the meeting point of the two large oceans at the southern tip of the African continent are all competing for your time and attention so do make sure that you also include some time before or after the conference to enjoy and explore.
