  • GREEN PANEL (17.06.2026)

    Green Panel – June 17, 2026 (Wednesday)

    Salus Futuri – The Human Between Biology, Technology and Social Evolution

    Scientific disciplines: mathematics, computer science, biological sciences, physical sciences, earth and environmental sciences, physical culture sciences, medical sciences, health sciences, sociological sciences, and other related fields.

    This year’s theme is “Salus Futuri – The Human Between Biology, Technology and Social Evolution”. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the panel, we aim to create a space for free and open presentation of research.

    If you solve complex equations, analyze processes in nature and the universe, are interested in the structure of matter, human health, plant and animal physiology, environmental research or other aspects of natural and exact sciences – this panel is for you!

    We invite you to participate on the first day of the conference – 17 June 2026, as part of the 6th edition of MKDUS 2.0. We encourage you to present papers and actively participate in the scientific discussion.

    Presentations may be delivered in Polish or English. Maximum presentation time is 15 minutes. See you there!

  • RED PANEL (18.06.2026)

    Red Panel – June 18, 2026 (Thursday)

    Dimensions of Truth(s). Concepts, Entanglements, Significance in a Humanistic Perspective.

    Scientific disciplines: philosophy, history, linguistics, literary studies, theological sciences and studies on culture and religion, pedagogy, and related sciences.

    We can consider it an image of reality and its mechanisms; it is a source of meaning, axiology, faith, and identity. It also influences everyday life, having shaped customs, rituals, and decisions. The answer to the question regarding the nature of truth – whether absolute or relative, objective or social – is never final; it has constituted the cultural foundation of eras and created philosophical, religious, artistic, and political paradigms. It has been and remains one of the sources of antagonisms, as well as of actions for the benefit of others; used to realize beliefs and to petrify power, its verification allows for development and has even led to revolutions. For scientists, it has always been a subject of inquiry, analysis, and polemics; in this context, it is worth considering the methods of discovering truth and its verification, as well as specific concepts and positions. Recent years have brought new challenges – there is talk of a crisis of truth, “fake news,” and the era of “post-truth.”

    We encourage you to present your own reflections and research.

    Presentations may be delivered in Polish or English. Maximum presentation time is 20 minutes. See you on 18 June!

  • PURPLE PANEL (19.06.2026)

    Purple Panel – June 19, 2026 (Friday)

    Interdisciplinary Challenges of Social Sciences in Contemporary Resource Management

    Scientific disciplines: economics and finance, management and quality sciences, socio-economic geography and spatial management, political and administrative sciences, legal sciences, security sciences, social communication and media sciences, psychology, and related sciences.

    This year’s theme is “Interdisciplinary Challenges of Social Sciences in Contemporary Resource Management”. The third and final day of the conference will provide a space for open discussion, with the central motif being resource management, including: human capital, financial capital, time, space, rights, and material goods. Dilemmas related to effective resource management are among the fundamental issues that social sciences focus on, and discussion embedded in them opens the field for addressing a wide spectrum of topics across many scientific disciplines. Economists, political scientists, socio-economic geographers, as well as psychologists and representatives of legal sciences will certainly find their place within the panel’s central theme.

    The event will open with presentations by invited special guests and experts who will share their perspectives on challenges related to resource management. This will be followed by a session of doctoral student presentations, divided into thematic panels aligned with the speakers’ research areas. A scientific discussion is planned after each session to deepen the issues discussed.

    We want this panel to be a space for open debate, interdisciplinary exchange of views and presentation of practical dimensions of social research. We particularly encourage presentations addressing current problems, new methodological approaches and research with application potential.

    The Purple Panel will take place on the third day of the conference – 19 June 2026.

    Presentations may be delivered in Polish or English. Maximum presentation time is 10 minutes. See you there!
