Crises ca n manifest in various forms—economic collapses\, political upheavals\, e nvironmental disasters\, technological shifts\, wars\, pandemics\, climate or cultural conflicts. Historically\, crises have always triggered societ al change\, which necessitate adaptation\, reorganization\, and innovation within communities. Throughout history\, the impact of crises has been pr ofound\, shaping the trajectories of societies by prompting adaptation and transformation. Societies that fail to address crises effectively often f ace decline\, while those that develop robust strategies can recover and e volve. Understanding crises within an interdisciplinary framework helps to reveal patterns\, inform policies\, and foster resilience in the face of contemporary and future challenges.\nThis international congress aims to e xplore the dynamics of crises from interdisciplinary perspectives.
