An International Conference on Interdisciplinary Research
LCC International University
Klaipeda, Lithuania
March 27-28, 2009
Organized to coincide with the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009, this conference brings together scholars from Lithuania, the United States and Europe to present research, debate issues, share ideas, generate new questions, and rigorously reflect on the creative solutions that arise from crisis as reflected across academic disciplines.
"Crisis: Catalyst for Creativity and Innovation"
Throughout history people have faced enormous, even catastrophic crises. The human spirit is resilient, strong and creative. What has the human race done in the past to overcome crisis? What might the human race do in current crises to find solutions? What events cause crises and what sorts of literature, economic solutions, religious movements, humanitarian efforts, political changes, educational reforms or scientific breakthroughs have occurred in response to these crises? It is recognized that not all solutions and movements have been positive. Have people been wise in constructing positive solutions to crisis? The conference is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary and accepts papers relating to these topics, both current and historical.
[When history looks back on the new millennium what will they say about it? Is it, as economists, peacemakers, humanitarian workers, theologians, ethicists or academics might say it is, a crisis?]
We invite papers from across the disciplines and across all national borders, within and beyond the EU.
