The Call for Papers for the 7^th Transforming Care Conference is now open. The conference will take place in Helsinki on 25-27 June 2025, and we have a great line-up of Thematic Panels for you to submit your abstract to. These cover the fields of childcare, long-term care and disability policy from many different perspectives. In addition to these 27 Thematic Panels, the conference will also feature 15 Symposia, showcasing cutting-edge work from many innovative research projects and networks.

The theme of the 7th Transforming Care Conference is ‘Social and Human Rights in Care’. The Transforming Care Conference series has become a major global meeting place for the international research community focused on the study of informal and formal care and support for people throughout their life course.
