Currently, Europe is a place where numerous changes of a social, economic, and spatial nature are occurring as a result of global geopolitical, natural, or climate-related processes. Rural areas do not exist in a vacuum and thus do not remain untouched by such changes but undergo transformation as well. This issue was addressed by the XXVII European Society of Rural Sociology Congress, hosted in Krakow by the Institute of Sociology of Jagiellonian University on July 24-27, 2017. The working language of the congress was English. The Congress participants' aims, choice of themes, programmes, and academic profiles demonstrated multiplicity and diversity of the processes affecting rural areas and agriculture. The great complexity of phenomena and the interdisciplinary nature of research approaches were reflected in a large number of thematic working groups. At this year s Congress there were nearly 30 of them; they concentrated on social, demographic, spatial, and economic issues. Rural change was the main topic of this year's Congress, which was reflected in its title: "Uneven Processes of Rural Change: On Diversity, Knowledge, and Justice". The Congress brought together nearly 400 participants from all over the world; over 150 reports and communiques were delivered. (fragment of text)
