SERENA participated in the 5th ISA Forum of Sociology (ISA 2025), held in Rabat, Morocco from 6 to 11 July 2025.


During the conference, SERENA partners presented research on participatory approaches with children in the context of violence, focusing on ethics, children’s rights, and methodological challenges.


Contributions from SERENA partners

Maria Roth, Eva Laszlo, Imola Antal and David Kacso Agnes from Babeș-Bolyai University (UBB) presented a poster entitled “Ethics of Participatory Research with Children on the Topic of Violence.”

The presentation explored key ethical dilemmas in research with children, particularly the balance between participation and protection. It addressed issues such as informed consent, confidentiality, and risks like retraumatization, while also highlighting the role of ethical boards and national regulations


Impact and outcomes

Participation in ISA 2025 strengthened SERENA’s engagement with the international sociological research community and contributed to ongoing discussions on ethics and children’s participation in research.

By engaging with international experts in sociology and child protection, SERENA continues to advance knowledge on how to ethically involve children in research and improve responses to violence affecting children across Europe.
