Conference introduction
The OPEN MIND MONGOLIA 2025 international conference invites scholars and practitioners to explore the interdisciplinary theme of “Social changes in the Digital Era.” This bi-annual international conference was firstly organized in 2021 as “Supporting Social Wellbeing During and After COVID-19,” an international hybrid conference that explored the social impacts of the global pandemic, and later in 2023 under the theme “Exploring Innovative Solutions for Contemporary Social Challenges,” with the aim of promoting an integrated approach to address environmental issues, climate change, gender, social participation, and socio-economic challenges.
Technological advancement of the 21st century is affecting most aspects of society. Artificial intelligence, data-driven platforms, digital participation, and algorithmic governance are reshaping human relationships, labor, education, culture, and governance in unprecedented ways — bringing significant progress to the modern world while also presenting equally complex challenges.
This international conference aims to explore, compare, and build collective knowledge on these social changes through an interdisciplinary research lens. Participants will engage in discussions along four main directions:
- Transformations in the Environment of Education, Training, and Information
- Trends in Changes in Family Structures, Gender Relations, and Intergenerational Dynamics
- Cultural and Lifestyle Shifts in Urban and Rural Contexts
- Emerging Trends in the Fields of Work, Occupations, and Labor
As part of this critical moment, we cordially invite you to join the conference by sharing the results of your recent and meaningful research, engaging in discussions with fellow scholars, and enriching the event with your wisdom and unique perspectives.
