SCOPES The Symposium 2019 will consider how, today, globalization is blurring the borders and the boundaries of any kind (eg. countries, markets, societies, cultures, organizations, ...). Like systems, borders are not "things out there" which exist independently by the perception of the observer. We make borders as we make systems in the attempt to simplify the interconnected complexity of reality. Today borders still exists as the demarcation between two ideal spaces defined by the observers according to political, social, cultural and economic dimensions. Therefore we live in a world made of "borders without borders" and unlike in the past, we are now widely aware of this. With this premise the Symposium 2019 focuses on the epistemological, theoretical, methodological, technical and practical contributions that can represent advancements in the theory and practice for sustainable well-being in the global era in and by different perspectives. While focusing on the Systemic methodology the Symposium is also open to all the scientific approaches in order to foster constructive debates and confrontations to create new paths of research and practice. With the above-mentioned scopes the Symposium 2019 calls for submissions of extended abstracts (from 500 to 2000 words) in 16 proposed “tracks” chaired by outstanding scholars in each field, and in the poster session <http://bslab-symposium.net/Pavia-2019/BSLAB-Pavia-2019-poster.htm> .
