T2P CONFERENCE
SCIENTIFIC INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
About The Event
Nowadays, the crossroad between theoretical and practical approaches is becoming very interested, mainly by exploring the options of how to combine and complement the theory and the practice, the general education, and the specialized training. In this context, the increase of the efforts regarding more cooperative, spherical and holistic approaches arises the demand for launching interdisciplinarity between many human, natural, social and technical fields.
The Theory to Practice as a cognitive, educational and social challenge conference (T2P) aims to find out whether the scientific and social reasons can lead to interdisciplinary approaches? Is cooperation between different academic areas achievable? What could pedagogues and engineers, bio-scientists and philosophers, agronomists, economists and mechanical engineers, natural scientists and writers -and so on- have in common?
