SUMMARY:2025 College and University Fund Conference - On Earning Trust: The Case for the Social Sciences
DESCRIPTION:On Earning Trust:\nThe Case for the Social Sciences\nDecember 12\, 2025\nUniversities are under immense pressure to demonstrate their value (and their values) to constituencies including governments\, students\, parents\, and civil society. Recent changes in federal funding are symptomatic of\, and increase\, this pressure. In this context\, this conference will explore how social science can illuminate the challenge of earning and sustaining trust—in universities\, research\, leadership\, and institutions. Across disciplines and continents\, the event will examine how trust is built\, eroded\, and restored through credible action\, transparency\, and shared moral purpose. \nRSVP to Attend

SUMMARY:2025 College and University Fund Conference:  The Case for the Social Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\nEvent Date: December 12\, 2025\nLocation: University of Southern California \nOn Friday\, December 12\, 2025\, the Social Science Research Council will convene institutional leaders from the College and University Fund for the Social Sciences\, together with leaders of philanthropic organizations and other research partners\, to discuss “The Case for the Social Sciences.” \nUniversities are under immense pressure to demonstrate their value (and their values) to constituencies including governments\, students\, parents\, and civil society. Recent changes in federal funding are symptomatic of\, and increase\, this pressure. In this context\, this meeting will focus on the following questions: \n\nHow do we\, as social scientists\, understand how universities arrived at this point of deep skepticism about their enterprise?\nHow do we understand and explain our disciplines’ contributions to the world? What have been some of their successes in research and in policy\, and what do we learn from these?\nHow can social scientists make a stronger case for themselves\, inside the university and to the broader world?\n\nThis year’s conference will be hosted by the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. We will open with a reception on the evening of Thursday\, December 11\, followed by a full day on the USC campus on Friday\, December 12. The day will begin with a Deans’ Breakfast for deans overseeing the social and behavioral sciences. \nRegistration is open to attendees from the member institutions of the College and University Fund for the Social Sciences. We look forward to sharing details about the program and speakers in the coming months. For more information about the conference or the College and University Fund for the Social Sciences\, please contact Lisa Marshall\, Chief of Staff\, at marshall@ssrc.org.
