While social equity as a concept may be difficult to pin down, it provides a starting point for researchers from different disciplines to examine what they perceive as unjust or unfair social practices and to come up with options to redress them.

This inaugural conference offers policymakers, non-governmental organisations and researchers from different disciplines the opportunity to work together to explore what social equity means and to investigate ways of ameliorating disadvantage.

The conference will be accompanied by events open to the public aimed at engaging debate on social equity issues. More information here.
