Has the pandemic led to more coo peration between cultural groups\, or has it enlarged already existing con flicts? Obviously\, in this decade we will have to deal with other burning issues such as global warming\, migration\, the rise of ”Nationalists ” and "Anti-Globalists\," distrust in academia\, poisoning of communicat ion by conspiracy theories\, and the consequent polarization of societies\ , steered by tribalistic attitudes and actions—among others. How does o ur intercultural research address these issues? How can we apply our inter cultural expertise effectively in different professional fields to have an impact on individuals and societies? How does intercultural research help to develop an intercultural and ethical mindset in our various target gro ups for dealing with the challenges of the present VUCA-world (VUCA: Volat ile\, Uncertain\, Complex\, and Ambiguous)? Moreover\, how can intercultur al research contribute to the four pillars of sustainability (Environment\ , Economy\, Social Equality\, and Culture)? The mission of IAIR is to enc ourage the highest quality empirical research and practice aimed at interc ultural understanding. Each IAIR conference aims to attract research-orien ted scientists and practitioners from a variety of intercultural disciplin es to present their work\, exchange and discuss ideas\, and contribute to intercultural understanding and cooperation. We especially invite you to p ropose research-based remedies for dealing with the conditions and promine nt challenges of these "post-globalized" times. Green Conferencing Intern ational conferences typically have a disastrous ecological footprint that contradicts our intention to work for a sustainable future. Therefore\, th e 2022 conference will be organized as a ‘green conference’: strictly paperless and with opportunities to participate virtually for those schola rs who want to avoid high ecological or monetary costs\, or for those who need to avoid travelling to Switzerland because of age or health issues. Call for Submissions: We welcome original studies that address the theme: applied research that fosters intercultural hearts and minds in a ‘post- globalized’ age\, especially related to: 1. Acculturation (theories and practices of migration\, adaptation\, inclusion\, integration) 2. Advances in Intercultural Research Methodologies 3.

After being caught in the chokehold of the Covid19-pandemic f or almost two years\, what have we learned from this global crisis for the future of our togetherness on this planet? Has the pandemic led to more c ooperation between cultural groups\, or has it enlarged already existing c onflicts? Obviously\, in this decade we will have to deal with other burni ng issues such as global warming\, migration\, the rise of ”Nationalists ” and "Anti-Globalists\," distrust in academia\, poisoning of communicat ion by conspiracy theories\, and the consequent polarization of societies\ , steered by tribalistic attitudes and actions—among others.

How does our intercultural research address these issues? How can we app ly our intercultural expertise effectively in different professional field s to have an impact on individuals and societies? How does intercultural r esearch help to develop an intercultural and ethical mindset in our variou s target groups for dealing with the challenges of the present VUCA-world (VUCA: Volatile\, Uncertain\, Complex\, and Ambiguous)? Moreover\, how can intercultural research contribute to the four pillars of sustainability ( Environment\, Economy\, Social Equality\, and Culture)?

The m ission of IAIR is to encourage the highest quality empirical research and practice aimed at intercultural understanding. Each IAIR conference aims t o attract research-oriented scientists and practitioners from a variety of intercultural disciplines to present their work\, exchange and discuss id eas\, and contribute to intercultural understanding and cooperation. We es pecially invite you to propose research-based remedies for dealing with th e conditions and prominent challenges of these "post-globalized" times.

Green Conferencing
International confere nces typically have a disastrous ecological footprint that contradicts our intention to work for a sustainable future. Therefore\, the 2022 conferen ce will be organized as a ‘green conference’: strictly paperless and w ith opportunities to participate virtually for those scholars who want to avoid high ecological or monetary costs\, or for those who need to avoid t ravelling to Switzerland because of age or health issues.

Call for Submissions: We welcome original studies that addre ss the theme: applied research that fosters intercultural hearts and minds in a ‘post-globalized’ age\, especially related to:
1. Accultur ation (theories and practices of migration\, adaptation\, inclusion\, inte gration)
2. Advances in Intercultural Research Methodologies
3 . Applied Intercultural Research (to business\, engineering\, healthcare\, law enforcement\, military\, arts\, schools\, etc.)
4. Applied Poli cy (to social-political issues\, urban planning\, development\, sustainabi lity)
5. Cultural Contexts and dynamics (understanding differences/c ommonalities\, values)
6. Cultural Identity (ethnicity\, developing\ , bi-\, multi-\, and trans-cultural identities)\,
7. Culture Learnin g (intercultural learning\, training\, education\, multiculturalism)
8. Immigration and Refugees (issues\, services\, resettlement\, policy\, inclusion)
9. Intercultural Competencies (sensitivity\, domains\, te sting ICC in contexts)
10. Intercultural Conflict (stereotypes\, ant i-racism/prejudice\, aggressions\, social justice)
11. Intercultural Interactions (interpersonal\, social acceptance and belonging\, cooperati on\, diversity\, media\, mass communication)
12. Intercultural inter ventions (multicultural counseling\, coaching\, therapy\, mediation/facili tation\, conflict resolution)
13. Intercultural Management (multicul tural teams\, organizations\, leadership\, work values\,
diversity/i nclusions\, negotiation)
14. Language and Cultures (language acquisi tion/teaching\, ethnographies of speech
communities\, translation\, IC linguistics\, literature)
15. Psychology of Culture (indigenous\, cross-cultural\, intercultural approaches)

A key focus of th is conference is applying intercultural research for a sustainable future\ , so we appreciate abstracts that show how your research contributes to cu rrent real-world-challenges.

Informing the Public
Our expertise is deemed highly relevant for the most urgent ch allenges in our interconnected world. Therefore\, this conference will foc us not only on sharing the results of current intercultural research among the scientific community but also on discussing the scope of intercultura l research among the scientific community but also on discussing the scope of application for other professions\, and on making an intentional impac t on the broader public.
