It is worth noting that the first conference was held in November 2023. The Conference aims to provide an academic platform for discussing the development of social work education, establishing international standards in the field, and addressing issues such as the social protection of vulnerable groups. It seeks to engage researchers working in social work and social policy in discussions of pressing issues, fostering experience exchange in developing and applying modern technologies and social practices to enhance the socio-psychological wellbeing of various population groups.
