I slutningen af december måned var jeg med til at aflevere, på vegne af Sociologisk Institut på KU og Dansk Sociologforening, et bud på at København skal være vært for ISA Forum of Sociology i 2016. Buddet er blevet udarbejdet i et samarbejde mellem Dansk Sociologforening, Sociologisk Institut på KU, Wonderful Copenhagen og Bella Center. Buddet kan ses her. For nylig blev jeg af ISA gjort opmærksom på, at følgende også havde indgivet et bud: Wien, Budapest og København. Repræsentanter for de tre skal præsenterer deres bud for ISA’s exekutiv komité i Bilbao, Spanien d. 14-15 marts 2013.
